Program Electives
Thematic Area Electives
Students concentrating in Social Justice must take at least one course from each of the following thematic areas:
Systems, Institutions, and Policies (SIP): Courses in this category explore the ways that structural power dynamics, political economy, and/or social policies produce and reproduce inequity.
Power, Positionality, and Responsibility (PPR): Courses in this category theorize and respond to the ways that social location positions people in relation to identity, power, and difference. Courses might explore how different identities and vectors of difference (including race, gender/sexuality, class, ability, religion, nationality, and others) are constituted and intersect.
Social Movements and Liberation (SML): Courses in this category engage with concrete cases of historical and contemporary struggles against social injustice, or with practices of social movements.
