Minor in Social Justice

The Social Justice Minor engages students with the complexities and critical analysis of structural inequalities and injustices. Students will learn to utilize multidisciplinary and feminist approaches that recognize the struggles for liberation and the importance of social movements, advocacy, and activism locally and globally. 

Please note that WGS majors cannot also receive a minor in Social Justice because the two degrees are offered through the same department.
