Summary for Course = TUL650 (12 competencies)

Course Objectives: This course is designed to prepare Christian leaders for social justice advocacy in the context of the global struggle

for human rights. Drawing upon Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen’s “capabilities approach” to human rights, the

TUL655 Land Rights and Housing course presents a Freirean model for social justice advocacy that recognizes the local, national and international

context of advocacy work and explores creative partnerships with other organizations and community groups on

particular advocacy issues.


Candidates will grapple with four major critical global or citywide issues causing urban poverty in the 21st Century

from a theological perspective. (e.g. transnational capitalism; urban environmental degradation; war, terrorism and

peace, global poverty, and slavery).

Candidates undertaking

this course will be able to develop a biblical approach to advocacy for land and entering into land rights conflicts,

being familiar with the processes of obtaining land rights documents and resolving land rights disputes within their

particular city, and understanding progressions that occur internaitonally in obtaining just housing.

This course

will enable candidates to understand and assess the dynamics of various disaster situations, the protocols for

responding, organizational structures, planning and communication tools. Candidates will also develop a ‘Volunteers

Operating Procedure’ for a selected emergency.
