PH 351 - Otherness and Marginalization: Levinas and the Alienated This course offers students: (1) philosophically-rich analysis of marginalization, inequity, and oppression in the US and other countries; (2) exploration of the human desire for self-determination in overcoming existential alienation; (3) examination of solidarity and ethical responsibility for others; and (4) Community-Engagement work with individuals in Burlington. We will discuss political, economic, and social marginalization based on race, poverty, gender, sexuality, age, illness, and disability, and explore possibilities for resistance, liberation, and creating justice and equity.
