MINOR
What You’ll Study
Peace and Justice Studies is a concentration in the Global Studies major. In this program, you’ll study theories from social movement leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ghandi, and Desmond Tutu. You’ll explore the effects of globalization and the impact of varying religious, racial, and societal forces. And you’ll participate in on-the-ground activities that train you to apply ideals through activism, policy-making, and community leadership.
Issues we’ll talk about:
- Race and class
- Gender and sexuality
- Religious ethics
- Peacekeeping and nonviolent activism
- Human rights
- Environmental justice
Graduate with an understanding of how to actively work toward making a difference in your community by building relationships, speaking out for society’s most marginalized members, and guiding others to think critically about the world they live in.
