Institute of Education for Social Justice Film Series (Fall 2008)

The Institute of Education for Social Justice Film series is designed to encourage participants to address problems of inequality and social justice affecting the human community depicted both in popular and alternative cinema. Using film as a medium for the exploration of human problems impacting social justice in society and across the disciplines and as a means to provoke dialogue and debate over issues ranging from social justice policy issues to individual moral decision-making, the series aims to advance the theoretical understanding and practical application of social justice in common, everyday situations. Following the screening of each film, participants are invited to take part in an open discussion of the social problems and/or controversial issues it raises.
