Peace and Social Justice Studies

Why Peace and Social Justice Studies?

Peace and Social Justice Studies is a flexible interdisciplinary minor that will encourage you to think critically and constructively about peace, peacemaking, and social justice in our troubled world.

You will learn to analyze and understand the root causes and ideologies that fuel social and economic injustice, oppression, violence, and war, as well as the values, ideas, strategies, and tactics used to overcome these social ills and further the cause of peace and social justice.

Activities and Events

The Peace and Social Justice Studies program holds a number of events and activities throughout the year including the annual "Road Less Traveled" event, an awards ceremony honoring individuals who fight for peace and social justice in the community.


"There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared. It is the great venture. It can never be safe." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
