HIST 493 - Repairing the Past: Readings in Historical Justice


FC SSCI
4 credits
In recent years, many communities and nations have sought to redress historical injustices through mechanisms such as truth commissions, tribunals, reparations, official apologies, and commemoration. This seminar will explore the philosophical, historical, and political questions that arise from demands for justice for historic wrongs and will consider when and why the past matters in the present, why a global discourse of historical wrongs emerged, and the benefits and limitations of different mechanisms of pursuing justice for historical oppression.
Course Last Offered/Scheduled: Spring 2020
