Social Justice Education has a variety of programs, events, and resources aimed to educate you about diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice on our campus and in our world today. Our goals:
-Establish a common ground among the IUPUI community that focuses on inclusive language, self exploration, and building community.
-Create opportunities for dialogue across differences among and betwee
n the various social identity affinity groups that exist here.
-Create opportunities to further the conversation from commonalities and differences to power, privilege, and oppression in order to engage our community to work towards social justice to strive for equity at IUPUI among community members. Our programs:
