Social Justice Minor

As our country, state, community and campus increasingly face issues related to inequality and diversity, the social justice minor addresses the ever-present need to educate students about global citizenship. Students in the social justice minor will investigate a broad understanding of theories and concepts of social justice and articulate a variety of perspectives on social justice through classes that address crucial social issues in diverse voices (interdisciplinary nature: sociological, political, psychological, historical, etc.).

The social justice minor will also help students learn how to critically apply theories of social justice to the content covered in one of the three focus areas. The social justice minor supports and encourages the study of advocacy for social justice and activism. Not only will the minor expose students to diverse content and topics but will prepare them for applied understanding and implementation of theory and content and the potential to contribute directly to the realization of social justice.
