Help develop a more equitable future while gaining a competitive advantage in the workforce.
The Social Justice minor complements and enhances the more than 30 majors and minors offered at Elmira College, particularly Psychology, Sociology/Anthropology, Criminal Justice, Social Work, and Business Administration. That’s because businesses, non-profit organizations, government, communities, and everything in between require interacting with people with differences in ability, class, gender, race, sexual identity, and more. Understanding how our identities influence and are influenced by the many systems in place within our lives will help you communicate with members of other groups and cultures outside of your experience, apply ethical principles to research and data analysis that identifies respect for all affected parties, and promote practical ways to remove bias and improve the systems that affect the lives of marginalized and underrepresented groups.
In this program, you’ll learn how social identities such as class, race, gender, ability, sexual identity, and more influence the experiences of individuals in the U.S. and the world. You’ll learn about historical inequities and gain a cross-disciplinary perspective on how divisions of power influence our understanding of sciences, arts, and humanities. With this greater awareness, you’ll be better able to identify interventions that improve equity within the communities where you live and work.
This program is meant to pair with other programs and give you a competitive edge in the workforce by demonstrating cultural competence. In a recent publication in Forbes magazine, 67% of job seekers in 2021 and 2022 considered the diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and social justice practices of organizations they were applying to. Because this program includes a capstone class project, you’ll have work you can share with prospective employers demonstrating your commitment to working with and understanding diverse populations.
