What Is My Role in Changing the System? A New Model of Responsibility for Structural Injustice
Robin Zheng
I’m suggesting instead that undergraduate students be ensured the time, space, and framework within which to engage in deep reflection about their own values, as well as about justice, fairness, and what a better, more just world might look like. This might not even require studying philosophy; such reflection is possible in a sociology course, or maybe even in a club or a freshman seminar, though philosophers have spent thousands of years considering these questions. __All colleges have the capacity, whether in their philosophy departments or elsewhere, to make reflection a priority sometime and somewhere within a student’s education.__
