Tell us about Scholars for Social Justice—what does the group do?

Scholars for Social Justice is a group of academics who are invested in social justice and are interested in fighting corporatization both inside and outside of the university.

We try to amplify their voices and connect them to opportunities for activism on issues that matter most to them.
