Social Justice focuses on analyzing and challenging systems of oppression, seeking to understand both the social and historical forces that have perpetuated social inequality. Social Justice studies seeks to promote justice, cultural diversity, critical thought, democracy, and inclusiveness. The subject arena ranges from race & ethnicity, women & gender issues, lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender (LGBT) studies, social class issues, disability issues, and other related areas including the intersection of these areas of study, primarily in U.S. context, with relevant linkages to global systems of oppression. Courses offered in the curriculum may be taken to fulfill general education requirements in the social sciences; and they may be applied toward a major in Social Justice for the Associate of Arts in Social Justice for Transfer.
