Period 1 - 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

• EDUC 374V Junior Seminar: Educational Systems Around the World
  Issues of social justice and equity are closely connected to educational opportunities. In modern societies, educational opportunities are inextricably linked to a person’s well-being and status in life. In this course, we examine how issues of social justice are connected to educational structures and systems in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. From rigid tracking systems that identify a student’s educational path from an early age to open systems that claim equal educational access for all, this course examines educational structures to raise questions about how social justice is promoted or inhibited through educational systems.

  An introduction to corporate finance from the viewpoint of the financial manager.

  Businesses can be powerful enhancers or inhibitors of social justice. From hiring practices to employee welfare to workplace conditions to environmental sustainability to the world-wide distribution of wealth, both large and small businesses impact many issues related to social justice. In this course, we critically examine how issues of social justice are connected to a wide variety of business practices and systems. We will explore questions concerning the responsibility of businesses in creating a more just world and examine the relationship between business practices promoting social justice and businesses’ bottom lines.
