Meet Your Faculty
"GSU’s Political and Social Justice MA provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding politics, while identifying and addressing injustice at the local, national, and global levels. By exploring politics through the lens of justice, the program will equip students to become social agents of change who transform and empower communities and help those silenced by inequality be it through interests in law, public administration, and/or non-profit organizations to start."
– Dr. Nicole Warmington-Granston, PSJS Program Coordinator
