Dear students,

Are you interested in poverty, inequality and social justice? Hoping to pursue these interests through interdisciplinary coursework? Trying to find ways to engage in concrete efforts to address inequality and promote democratic social change?

Come learn more about the new Minor in Poverty, Inequality and Social Justice. This interdisciplinary undergraduate minor will provide students with the tools to understand the structural and political roots, dynamics and consequences of poverty and intersectional inequality; conduct original research; and engage meaningfully in efforts to address poverty through policy, practice and social action. It is housed in the History Department, and affiliated with the Blum Center for Global Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development.

Join us for an information session on the History Department's new interdisciplinary Minor in Poverty, Inequality and Social Justice on Wednesday, April 10th from 4-5PM in Social Sciences and Media Studies (SSMS) 2135. 

During this session we will discuss the Minor's goals, key components, and how it can support deepening your interests in issues of poverty and inequality through research and action. 

Please RSVP with Joanne Nowak, Blum Center Academic Coordinator (joanne.nowak@ucsb.edu) by Tuesday, April 9th.
