“Justice” with rock-star philosopher Michael Sandel, is potentially one of the most engrossing ways to jump into questions of how we are to discern the right thing to do. Known for his ability to pack amphitheaters with his lectures, Professor Sandel tackles a wide range of fundamental (and very interesting) Justice Studies scenarios including Justice, Democracy, Markets & Morals, and Ethics & Technology. A well-rounded critical understanding of the context in which cyber security decisions are made is central to a quality cyber security education. For our open education cyber security education track, this MOOC fits the bill for an overview of justice studies.
