Theology & Social Justice

Studying social justice in tandem with theology offers students a unique insight into how religious ideas shape and are shaped by the concrete social realities of the modern world. This course aims to combat poverty, climate change, racism, homelessness, misogyny, homophobia, sexism, ableism, ageism, and religious discrimination. Our premise is that where theology meets justice, hope meets action.
