Through the exploration in this course, students can establish the capacity to take a leading role of promoting social justice in future school settings. Being equipped with basic concepts and theories on social justice, students are guided to launch critical studies on a great variety of current issues in global, local and school contexts, such as poverty and wealth distribution, individual freedom vs public health concern, ethnic and sexual minority rights, animal rights, student voice, bullying in schools, equal opportunities for students with special needs, etc. By dialogues with related stakeholders and other means of data collection, students develop deep understanding on specific issues. They explore the possibilities of bringing these issues into schools for educational purpose and prepare for encountering challenges that may arise. In the light of worldwide experiences in social justice education, students are encouraged and inspired to become active and conscientious educators for promoting social justice in schools.
