Unit rationale, description and aim

This unit fosters reflection on and critique of foundational Catholic/Christian documents concerned with social justice. These include texts from Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, as well as documents from Catholic social teaching. Critical reflection on these documents allows for the development and evaluation of programs related to education for justice, peace, development, human rights and dignity and ecological responsibility. The unit also assists students to gain skills in integrating education for social justice into religious education curricula.
