Social Justice Across the Curriculum
Social Justice has been chosen as an interdisciplinary theme at Saint Leo University. Social justice is the movement toward a more just world in which social injustice and unjust structures are eliminated so that life and community flourish.
In 2009-2010, the topics of the Genocide in Darfur and Human Trafficking were chosen as two areas to focus on.
It is hoped that this subject guide will give faculty and students a headstart in their research by providing links to background information and resources.
