Overview

Our world’s current state of great uncertainty is a result of a long history of racial and economic inequality, international conflict, war, displacement, and environmental harm. Only by understanding the complex causes of these social conflicts can we hope to achieve transformative change. The Transformative Social Change - Peace and Justice Studies at Saybrook University provides that understanding.

With an emphasis on analysis that leads to practice, you will examine the theory and history behind social change as it relates to specific issues and actions that you most care about. You will delve deeper into the causes of social problems at all levels of society and the processes we can utilize in hopes of contributing to a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world.

The Peace and Justice Specialization program brings an interdisciplinary, humanistic approach to understanding the causes of violence and the potential for restorative justice, transformative justice, and nonviolent efforts to bring about constructive change.
