VPM 1909 - Systemic Racism, Injustice, and Inequality: Hurdles for a Unified and Sustainable Society (3 Cr.) Freshman Seminar

Veterinary Population Medicine (11646) TVET - College of Veterinary Medicine

Course description

The United States of America, in its Declaration of Independence, granted ?freedom, life, liberty, and pursuit for happiness? to its citizens. The phrase ?all men are created equal? refers to systemic gender inequality. The US constitution also is far from equal, suffering from systemic inequality, injustice, and racism, which, if not resolved, may present a serious hurdle in the path of building a unified sustainable society as defined by the UN?s SDGs. The aim of this course is to explore whether the US can attain unity and sustainable development with constitutional inequality, injustice, and racism intact. We hypothesize that it will not.
