Dr. Anna J. Brown, Director<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Social Justice Program offers a multi-disciplinary minor that emphasizes the thought and work of social justice, the thought and practice of nonviolence and peacemaking, and the peace and justice teachings of the world\u2019s faith traditions. The aim of the social justice project, within the Jesuit tradition, is to appreciate the dignity of each person, to understand the systemic causes of social oppression, to dismantle unjust social structures, and to imagine and create social structures that uplift the human family as well as the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social justice students are encouraged to engage in our numerous social justice workshops and lectures, local, national, and international works of service and justice,\u00a0and seminars on nonviolence and peacemaking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year during the Michaelmas ceremony, the Social Justice Program awards the Philip Berrigan Social Justice Award to that social justice student who excels both in academic and social justice work.<\/span><\/p>\n
