Mission

The Social Justice Leadership Center supports, advocates, and educates the University of Arizona and greater community in the areas of inequality and social injustices found in our society. The SJLC looks at how socially constructed actual and perceived identities are formed, supported, and perpetuated over time and how we can learn from the distribution of power, privilege, and oppression.
