In Module 3 of your course, you will be choosing one topic out of voting rights, climate change or justice on which to focus on for the rest of the term. Once you have chosen one of these topics, you will be reading several assigned articles from the library. The topics and articles are linked below. As you work through what you know and what you'd like to know in these topic areas, you can also look up other resources to support your learning.
Find your chosen topic below and read your articles by clicking on the hyperlinked titles. These resources are shown as citations, which give us information on the source being used. You will notice pieces like publication date, authors, titles, publishers, and more.
