Every career path today must make its way through a landscape informed by injustice
and inequity. Take any two courses in the Winthrop Social Justice and Equity Institute
do be introduced to or to dig deeper into the vital issues humans face regarding justice
and equity in our societies. Disciplines represented include African American Studies,
Anthropology, Criminal Justice, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology,
and Women’s and Gender Studies. Both introductory and upper-level courses are offered.
This is a great way to augment any degree program or career as all human affairs and
careers are affected by these issues!
