57/ Social Structures And Institutions:

The Quest for Social Justice

18th June - 23rd June 2007

In the years since the Cold War ended, justice – in its distributive, juridical, and everyday life senses – has emerged as a major world issue. We propose a course to examine the quest for social justice in each of its multifaceted formations: as a problem in institutional design and/or procedure in post-socialist societies; as a structural problem determined by the opportunities for and barriers to social mobility; as a fundamental issue in the establishment of Euro-citizenship; and as a concern in the daily lives through identity dynamics and interpersonal relations. The papers and discussions in the course will range from the macrosocietal and mezzosocial to the microsociological levels – focusing on social justice, its modes, processes and realization. The course will encompass a broad range of research strategies.
