Description
minor, students develop the tools to analyze and the vocabulary to talk about systems of advantage and disadvantage that perpetuate inequality at the interpersonal, institutional, and cultural level. They acquire familiarity with social movements and strategies that have been used historically to dismantle systemic inequality and to effect social change. They examine their own identities and actions in light of their learning, and engage in experiential learning—getting outside of the classroom environment to develop and implement action plans and then reflecting on their experience. The course of study includes both the breadth of an introductory core course and the depth and autonomy of a faculty- supervised capstone experience. Students also take courses from a variety of disciplines and are strongly encouraged to take advantage of experiential learning opportunities. SJST Learning Objectives 1.
