- Class Description:
- Marginalized populations tend to be viewed as objects of social policy, passive victims, and a cause of social problems; while mainstream society members with little direct knowledge about the real lives of people on the margins drive research and policy. This can lead to misguided actions, misunderstandings, paternalism, unintended negative consequences and further marginalization and/or stigmatization. In this course we explore these issues in depth and review and develop ethical research and policy-making through a case study of sex trafficking and sex trading. Students will have an opportunity to contribute to real-world policymaking and research related to sex trafficking in Minnesota. Course Objectives: After completing the course, students should be able to: ? Analyze sensitive public policy problems using reflexive and/or feminist methodologies, discourse analysis, critical legal theories and legal realism ? Design ethical research protocols on sensitive topics for use in marginalized communities ? Understand and be able to use community engaged research approaches ? Draft legislation, analyze implications and develop legislative strategy with demonstrated sensitivity, awareness, and involvement of marginalized communities ? Develop ethical advocacy plans on sensitive topics involving marginalized communities ? Engage in real world problem solving at the intersection of theory and practice
