Starting from what equality means as legal principle and right in modern democratic systems, the course will move on to critically analyze policy approaches and policy tools used to put equality into practice and contestation around those. The course will look at equality ideas and interventions through the lens of various grounds of inequality: race and ethnicity, gender, and disability and devote special attention to the intersection between different inequality axes. The focus will be on domestic and international policy practices developed in the last decades and will reflect upon recent challenges to equality thinking. Students will be encouraged to bring in the discussion issues and cases from the policy environments with which they are most familiar and look into how equality policy practices can travel across countries and regions. Students taking the class for grade have priority in admission.Part of the Social Justice and Human Rights specialization for MAPP and MPA?Part of both the Democracy and the Policy track courses for MAIPA
