Social Justice
At A Glance
The social justice minor is designed for non-social work majors who want to learn how to critically examine issues of equity and access in terms of economic, political, and social rights within a wide range of disciplines.
Minor
- Social Justice
Through this minor, students will examine the complex relationships that exist between social justice and broader cultural, economic, educational, social, environmental, and political structures, policies, and practices.
By providing an opportunity for students from any major to examine their work through a social justice lens, they can bring great benefits to their communities. We imagine business leaders, healthcare providers, scientists, musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs grounding their work in an overall commitment to leadership in the development of more socially just communities.
