Note on Admissions
Students are encouraged to apply to SJE. Please join us to study in our distinctive interdisciplinary department, where our research and teaching continues to be ideally positioned to play a central role in defining and leading the field of critical social justice inquiry.
The scholars at SJE offer major contributions to the study of equity, racism (e.g. anti-Black and anti-Asian racism, as well as prejudice based on religious or ethnic identity, such as Antisemitism and Islamophobia), Black studies, Indigeneity and decolonization, anti-colonial studies, Palestinian rights, intersectionality and solidarity, disability studies, gender studies, feminism, Francophone studies, citizenship, media studies, ethics, and other areas. These are not easy conversations, but SJE has always welcomed the challenge of learning through meaningful discourse. The department is committed to free academic discussions about social justice that are responsive to national and global events.
