Social Justice

Social Justice is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the need for fairness, equality, and access to opportunities within a society. Coursera's Social Justice catalogue imbues you with the knowledge and a deep understanding of societal inequalities, human rights, diverse cultures, and historical injustices. You'll learn about the theories of justice, the ways to promote social equity, the operation of public policies, and the impact of socio-political factors on marginalized communities. This skill will empower you to critically analyze social systems, advocate for societal transformation, and develop interventions to address the various dimensions of social inequity.
