Social Justice Certificate

Contact person: Jorge Mena-Ali, Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology

Disciplines: Sociology, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Africana Studies, American Studies

The interdisciplinary certificate in Social Justice synthesizes critical perspectives on the social systems and structures through which dynamics of power and inequality are created, maintained, contested, and transformed. At the intersections of race, gender, socioeconomic class, and sexuality, students will have the opportunity to meaningfully engage with historical and contemporary issues germane to struggles for equity and justice between and across social identity groups. The certificate includes a capstone that asks students to apply theory in praxis.
