Social Justice Studies
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Social Justice Studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the exploration of societal inequalities and the pursuit of transformative social change. It encompasses diverse areas such as multicultural studies and addresses various dimensions of identity, including age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender, race, immigration status, and socio-economic status. Through critical analysis, Social Justice Studies facilitates understanding and challenges systemic barriers to create a more just and inclusive society for all individuals.
