The Equity Studies major at Saint Michael's is grounded in a vision of collective liberation, and is designed to be interdisciplinary and intersectional. The foundational coursework focuses on: understanding and transforming the systems and structures of our world that create inequity, oppression, and privilege; and helping individuals practice critical self-reflection in order to understand and transform their positions, roles, and assumptions within these systems. Equity Studies majors may pursue tracks focusing on inequalities based on race or disability. Students have the opportunity to engage in both rigorous theoretical inquiry and practical application through experiential learning, community-engaged learning, and internships.
