John Jay College Social Justice Landmark Cases eReader
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Short Description:
The Justice eReader presents Landmark Supreme cases in their social and historical context and examines their impact on criminal justice, law, culture and politics in the United States.

Long Description:
The John Jay College Justice eReader is a product of the Transforming the Justice Core Project, made possible through generous funding from the Teagle Foundation.

An interdisciplinary working group of scholars in the humanities, criminal justice and social sciences at John Jay identified Supreme Court cases of significance to a student body interested in social justice issues and their intersection with legal and criminal justice professions. With the cases as a foundation, the working group identified readings and media that facilitate students’ interpretation and analysis of the key themes and issues at stake in each case and developed new syllabi and assignments geared toward transfer students who have completed their associate degree. This text is organized by case and contains both original legal documents and a curated selected of Open Educational Resources that introduce perspectives and representations of the issues at stake in the cases. Instructors may also access sample syllabi, assignments, and course bibliographies to guide their own practice.

The eReader purposefully integrates humanities, liberal arts and social science perspectives to present a critical examination of Landmark Supreme Court cases alongside the ethical, social, legal and political questions and histories that inform them. Readers whose ambition is to serve their communities through public service, legal, law enforcement or other professions will develop their ability to reckon with the complex ethical and moral situation of the contemporary American justice system as a result of interaction with the Justice eReader.

LANGUAGE, THOUGHT, and REALITY (1956 edition)
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

A unique perspective on the confluence of the three basic conceptual frameworks in human experience. Contains several studies, with data, of remarkable world views of disparate cultures based on their specific cultures language. The premise is that how people experience the world, then think about it, then create a language around it, alters their perception of the world in very fundamental ways. The radical notion is that thought and language, creates the circumstances of, and contribute to significantly different realities for different peoples.

The internalization and realization of this concept is significant and can possibly radically alter and change how different cultures assess their ability to, at the most basic levels, understand other cultures realities.
