Minor Global Justice CEDLA - UvA
This minor explores contemporary debates on global justice, focusing on the social, political and environmental inequalities that shape societies around the world. It examines issues such as gender and racial discrimination, climate and environmental justice, decoloniality, political resistance and human rights, drawing on perspectives from both the humanities and the social sciences.
Combining academic research with insights from activism, public policy and civil society initiatives, the programme encourages students to critically engage with the causes and consequences of injustice at local and global levels.
