Overview

As we replace ineffective, unjust, or harmful social arrangements, we must understand how they came to be. Good social policy and the eradication of social problems are not possible without an understanding of what caused the problem, the barriers that stand in the way of a solution, and the problems a particular solution might in turn create.

As you build your understanding of societal structures and processes, and skills to change them, through the Social Justice and Social Change program at Hamline University you'll grow in your ability to challenge and change ineffective, unjust, or harmful social arrangements.
