Amdur, Robert 
Human Rights and Social Justice
Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.
Anyone who teaches a course called "Human Rights and Social Justice" has to be a nice guy and the same holds true with Prof. Amdur. He's a great teacher who is very approachable and concerned about his students. The readings are a little dry but Amdur's methodological approach and willingness to repeat explanations ultimately made the texts easily digestible. In fact, I really looked forward to going to class because of Amdurs ingenious capability to elucidate esoteric theory. I am so happy I took this course, which really broadened by mind, and had Amdur as my professor. True, he's not particularly charismatic but he is incredibly organized and deeply respects his students. I unequivocally recommend this course to anyone even remotely interested in social justice theory.
Short readings that are rather difficult but you can skim them if you attend class regularly and take good notes (he'll highlight important sections). The mid-term and paper are optional if you want the final to count for 100%. Everything is straight-forward, without tricks and very manageable. I get the feeling Amdur genuinely wants his students to both learn and do well.
