HUM/DIFF

Cross-listed: History This course will provide an intensive introduction to contemporary discussions of human rights. A historical and theoretical investigation of the contested categories, 'human' and 'right,' will be combined with examples of political, social, cultural, and aesthetic dimensions of claims made in these terms. What are humans and what count as rights? We will ask about the foundations of rights claims; about legal, political, non-violent and violent ways of advancing, defending and enforcing them; about the documents and institutions of the human rights movement; and about the 'reality' of human rights in a globalized world.

AART

Cross-listed: EUS, Human Rights (core course); STS The course will explore the often-contested terrain of urban contexts, looking at cities from architectural, sociological, historical, and political positions. What do rights have to do with the city? Can the ancient idea of a "right to the city" tell us something fundamental about both rights and cities? Our notion of citizenship is based in the understanding of a city as a community, and yet today why do millions of people live in cities without citizenship? The course will be organized thematically in order to discuss such issues as the consequences of cities' developments in relation to their peripheries (beginning with the normative idea of urban boundaries deriving from fortifying walls), debates around the public sphere, nomadic architecture and urbanism, informal settlements such as slums and shantytowns, surveillance and control in urban centers, refugees and the places they live, catastrophes (natural and man-made) and reconstruction, and sovereign areas within cities (the United Nations, War Crimes Tribunals). Students will do two position papers and one research paper. Admittance is at the professor’s discretion. Class size: 22

SSCI

Cross-listed: Human Rights “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…”  U.S. Declaration of Independence       
“Equality is not given us, but is the result of human organization insofar as it is guided by the principle of justice.  We are not born equal; we become equal…”   Hannah Arendt
In the United States, one-tenth of the population owns 71% of the nation’s wealth; the bottom 40% has less than 1%.  The New York City school-age population is over 70 percent African American or Hispanic; at Stuyvesant High School, one of the city’s best, less than 4 percent of the students come from these groups.  On average, American women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn in comparable jobs.  How should we regard these and other inequalities?  Are they objectionable?  Tolerable? On what grounds?  What should be done about them, if anything?  This course explores several philosophical theories of egalitarianism and applies them to American case studies in inequality on the local and national levels.  Students will gain new tools for navigating debates over affirmative action, gender discrimination, income inequality, tax policy and other pressing controversies.  Readings include legal materials and works by Scanlon, Rawls, Parfit, Burke, Hayek, Anderson, Okin and Pogge, among others.
