|
|
Administered jointly by the Department of Government , Department of Justice, Law and Criminology , and the Department of Public Administration and Policy , the Race, Politics, and Justice (Minor) is designed for students interested in understanding how race and ethnicity factor into the political and criminal justice fields. In addition to learning about the major topics in politics and justice, students learn how race and ethnicity shape, frame, influence, and guide many decisions that occur within those fields. Using an interdisciplinary approach, students gain understanding how public policy might have racial/ethnic influences and propose solutions to address the consequences of those policy decisions.
