PSJ 1100 INTRODUCTION TO POVERTY STUDIES
This broad-based multi-disciplinary course is the foundation course for the Poverty and Social Justice (PSJ) minor. It provides an introduction to the current state of global and domestic poverty as well as focusing on how poverty is both measured and theorized. We will examine foundational theories present in poverty discussions (e.g. theories of justice, foundational economic theories and concepts, relevant cultural theories) that students will encounter and use throughout the PSJ program. This material will provide the foundation for understanding, navigating, and assessing the elective work in the minor and it will also provide an essential base level of knowledge for student's internship experiences.
