 Return to: Programs in the College of Liberal Arts
Social Justice is an 18-unit interdisciplinary minor housed within the Department of Gender, Race and Identity (GRI) and offered in cooperation with the School for Social Research and Justice Studies (SSRJS). Students in the minor study social justice, conflict, and change in historical and contemporary contexts and global and local settings. The minor in Social Justice is grounded in an intersectional perspective, attending to the roles of multiple aspects of identity, difference, and power both in social justice and in structural impediments to it. The minor in Social Justice further enables student to study multiple strategies for activism, advocacy, social policy, and community organizing. It provides an expressly interdisciplinary environment for learning, drawing widely on academic traditions in the social sciences and the humanities. Students gain tools to critically analyze and engage our world and to enact change in their communities and professions.
