Global Peace and Social Justice is an interdisciplinary program where students investigate systems of social inequity and injustice at the local, national, and global levels. Students in the program develop research skills and practical knowledge to understand the root causes and perpetuation of social conflict, violence, and oppression in politics and culture. They learn strategies for reimagining and making transformative change in order to build peaceful, equitable, and just communities. The program offers many opportunities for community-based learning through our experiential learning courses and public-engagement events.
