Units Required for Minor: 15

The Minor in Social Justice in Education focuses on the theoretical, historical, and cultural constructs of power and oppression and the ways they intersect within education. The courses address current issues regarding race, ethnicity, culture, language, socio-economic status, abilities, and gender diversity.  The minor underscores how education can be transformative and used as a tool to eradicate oppression and foster perspectives that promote social justice in education. The goal of the Minor is to empower students to teach or work towards building an antiracist, equitable, and inclusive place in education.
