Housed in the Justice Studies Department, and in collaboration with the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (GSWS) Program, the Social Justice: Gender, Race, and Queerness (GRQ) minor will be starting in September! Just 3 core classes and 3 electives. The Social Justice: Gender, Race, and Queerness minor offers students the opportunity to learn and think critically about the ways in which structural inequalities and injustices based on gender, race, and queerness exist, both historically and today, in the world of the criminal legal system and from a social justice perspective.
