Theories of social justice was a fascinating class. There is a lot of reading, but if you like pol. theory they are all interesting, just takes a while to get through. Lovett is a fantastic lecturer and explains all of the ideas in an approachable manner. Rarely left a lecture with a question. Knows his material well and engages questions well.

Social Justice is a great class for polisci majors. I thought the material was very interesting, but it's a large-ish lecture so there is limited opportunity for discussion/participation. You don't need to buy the books or do any reading if you go to class every day!! Take his Global Justice seminar if you prefer discussion. Moderately hard grader.

Theories of Justice: a really interesting course and I learned a lot. Lovett is a great instructor and very clear in explaining difficult concepts. Exams are straight forward and easy, term paper requires work.
