Bachelor of Arts (Major- Social Justice)

If you want to facilitate positive change, social justice provides a lens through which to see the world. Studying social justice will give you an understanding of how society operates, sometimes to exclude and oppress and sometimes to support and enable its members. You will develop a critical understanding of key social justice concepts, including universal human rights—this Major links social theory with strategies for social action and change. No matter what area of work you are in or are planning to be in, studying social justice will open your eyes to ways to make a more just, equitable and sustainable world that values the dignity of all people. For this reason, the Social Justice Major or Minor is frequently taken by students completing double degrees such as LawArts, EducationArts, and CommerceArts. Students studying Communications and Media degrees often combine a Major in Journalism with a Major or Minor in Social Justice. Students studying a Major in Politics and International Relations routinely combine this Major with a Major or Minor in Social Justice to help them make sense of the world and to see alternative ways to function as people sharing the planet. Amongst our graduates are government policy writers, development workers, CEOs of non-government organisations, activists, support workers, lawyers, teachers, journalists, and business owners who operate in their professions with a commitment to social justice. So, no matter where you are headed in your chosen career, social justice gives you the skills, knowledge, and awareness to do so with active compassion.
