HIST 8.07 The History of Equality

This course will examine key shifts in the understanding and deployment of notions of “equality,” including moral, legal, political, social, racial, and gender equality. Primarily a course of intellectual history with a focus on European and American sources and texts, it will nevertheless encourage the consideration of non-western perspectives and will
draw on relevant literature in other disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, and economics.
