Peace & Social Justice Studies-Minor

The interdisciplinary minor in Peace & Social Justice Studies at Emory & Henry College will help fulfill the College’s mission of equipping students for lives of service, productive careers, and global citizenship by giving them the theoretical and practical skills to think about, advocate for, and navigate conflict nonviolently, underscored by an exploration of different conceptions of justice; diversity and multiculturalism; and our shared existence in a globalized world.  This interdisciplinary and experiential minor will draw from several disciplines, including civic innovation, sociology, politics, and philosophy. Students will take a sequence of courses and will complete their minor by participating in a capstone internship with a local peace and justice organization.
