Social Justice and Sustainability - Integrative Pathway
This Pathway brings together social justice and sustainability – approaches that have often been distinct. Social justice is necessary to sustain institutions, societies, and our planet over the long term. Likewise, social justice benefits from including the sustainability framework; by which long-lasting solutions to local and global challenges are developed through understanding the connections among social equity, environmental stewardship, and economic well-being and including these in decision-making and planning processes. 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.

Curricular Itinerary Courses
Students will take three further courses, in which they will explore the theme of the Pathway in light of their animating questions. These courses must be from three different departments as defined by their course designations and are intended to represent a range of disciplinary approaches to the theme. Courses should be approved under the direction of the pathway coordinator or senior reflection instructor. Students may count courses toward the Curricular Itinerary that were taken prior to the Thematic Inquiry. All Itinerary courses should be completed no later than the fall semester of the senior year.
