Welcome.

Welcome to our course in Social Justice!
From the Course Description: This course serves as an introduction to peace and justice studies through the specific lens of Catholic Social Teaching (CST).  We will critically examine the concepts, methods, and challenges facing individuals who aspire to help bring peace to persons whose lives are continually marked by violence.

One of my favorite quotes related to this subject matter is by Dr. King: I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin—we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from “Beyond Vietnam” April 4,1967
