Passion for Justice
Human Rights & Educational Justice, MA
The MA in HREJ brings together the fields of human rights and educational justice to study key issues impacting education today. Combining these fields offers new opportunities to study power, intersectional solidarities, and the creation of new, collective futures. Students will be equipped with tools to engage in public scholarship, humanizing pedagogies, and community-based work in our innovative two-year, 30-unit program.
