Social Justice and Sustainability Integrative Pathway
None
A brief description of the undergraduate minor, concentration or certificate (2nd program):
The Social Justice and Sustainability Pathway is one of nine integrative pathways available to students at Connecticut College. Designed and implemented by interdisciplinary groups of faculty members, Pathways offer students an opportunity to achieve academic integration within a broad intellectual framework. Every Pathway is organized around a central theme, in relation to which students will consider an animating question that provides a focus for their work. Over three years in this Pathway, students craft new approaches to a more sustainable world for the benefit of all, as they become increasingly aware of how asymmetries of power and privilege operate on a daily basis. Students, staff and faculty become active agents in the transformation of our world through critical and collective citizenship.
