Justice
Justice and development is a growing field, particularly in response to traditional economics, colonialism and other sources of inequality... Who benefits/suffers from "development"? How should development benefits be distributed? How does development affect the environment? Who has power within development relationships? How should gender, race and ethnicity be addressed in development? Who has the right to develop?
For further reading on justice and development I recommend N.J. Udombana's article “The Third World and the Right to Development: Agenda for the Next Millennium” in the Human Rights Quarterly, volume 22 (2000) and Arturo Escobar's Encountering Development: The Making and the Unmaking of the Third World (1995). Papers: Mutual Power in a Hegemonic World: Applying feminist theologians' critiques of power to development (Rel 209, Fall 2004) Wal-Mart (Econ 220, January 2005) Black Female Leadership in the Civil Rights Movement (Soc/An 244, Spring 2005) Ecofeminism: Understandings and Critiques (PS 398, January 2006) Courses: ECON 220 Economic Justice—junior *Not in my major: REL 209 Introduction to Feminist Theology--junior.
