Why Minor in Social Justice?

Are you interested in integrating socially just practices into your field of study? Do you want to make a real difference in your communities and the world?

  • Analyze the relationship among power, privilege and oppression;
  • Recognize and counter stereotypes, myths, and discriminatory attitudes and practices at the individual and institutional levels;
  • Create strategies to advocate for social, political, legal and economic justice;
  • Facilitate building safe, equitable, sustainable and non-discriminatory communities;
