Social Justice Studies

Social Justice Studies brings together different subjects to explore fairness, identity, and equality in society. It includes Native American and Indigenous Studies, Chicano Studies, Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies, LGBTQ Studies, and African American Studies. This field looks at how social systems shape people’s experiences and identities while also studying movements that fight for justice. By learning about these topics, students gain the knowledge and skills to understand inequality and work toward positive change in their communities.
