Offered in: Chicago
The Social Justice Studies minor is an interdisciplinary minor that integrates theories, methods, and substance of many academic disciplines (economics, history, political science, sociology, and others) as they bear on questions of social justice.
Students in Social Justice Studies seek to answer questions such as, What is "social justice"? What are the processes that produce injustice in our world, and how do they operate? How are people working - or how might people work - to achieve social justice? The program is available as a minor as well as a B.A.
