Students in the program pursue critical questions from a range of academic disciplines and learn how activism can promote social change. We challenge students to consider how complex social identities such as race, social class, age, and ability intersect with gender and sexuality to shape the world in ways that are all at once personal, political, local, and global. Our concentration is an appropriate supplement to any academic major.
