Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is structured as a combination of lectures and seminars. The introductory lecture gives an overview of concepts of justice, including distributive and procedural justice.

The seminars deal with different theories, where the participants are expected to be active and give a presentation at least two topics for discussion on each seminar.

The course is concluded with a final seminar, where each participant shall present an outline for a research study – within field of land development – that applies one or more theories of justice discussed during the course.

Intended learning outcomes

This course aims at offering an introduction to some central theories of justice – relevant to distribution of goods/benefits as well as distribution of costs. The ambition is not to give a complete in depth presentation of all possible theories and their theoretical foundations, it is rather to exemplify different viewpoints and how they can be applied and analyzed in scientific studies of land development.
