Diversity and Social Justice Program

Diversity and Social Justice Project

Mission

 The Project fosters a diverse community by promoting rigorous, interdisciplinary intellectual    activity necessary for social justice movements and characteristic of a liberal arts education.

Goals
  • Prepare our students to live and work as engaged citizens in an increasingly diverse world.
  • Foster student and faculty scholarship related to our mission.
  • Develop and support curricula and pedagogies that challenge students to think critically about social justice and human diversity and to make connections between this classroom learning and the society in which we live.
  • Initiate and strengthen connections between the Hamilton community and the surrounding area around the mission of the Project.
