NEJS 171b: Tikkun Olam/Repairing the World: Service and Social Justice in Theory and Practice
Jon Levisohn
MW 10 - 11:30 am
What does tikkun olam mean? Why do some people love it, while others can’t stand it? Does “social justice” really do any good in the world? Whom or what should we serve, if we serve? What can we learn from service-learning? In the fall of 2020, we will also consider whether the pandemic changes our thinking about tikkun olam: Does it change priorities for the world, or for us? In what ways? How do we navigate through these challenges? [NEJS 171b is a service-learning course, and includes a service component in the field. Together, we will figure out how to serve others, under whatever conditions we find ourselves.]
