Rutgers’ Women and Gender Studies Department to offer new social justice track – The College Fix

The Rutgers University Women and Gender Studies Department will offer a new five-year track in “Feminist Practices for Social Change” beginning next fall.

According to The Daily Targum, the offering “reflects the strong demand for courses that focus on real ways to become an activist.”

Program Assistant Undergraduate Director Ileana Nachescu, a “scholar of American Studies and transnational feminism,” added that the track “is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to assume leadership roles in contemporary social justice activism and human rights.”
