Description
The Social Justice Studies program helps advance UVic's vision by promoting civic engagement and global citizenship as well as valuing equal rights and dignity of all persons. The program asks students to wrestle with questions of wealth inequality globally, racism and its institutionalization, violence, labour rights and conditions, migration and contemporary refugee and asylum debates, and ecological degradation and environmental justice.
