Overview
The Managing for Social Justice graduate minor is offered through Parsons School of Design.
The minor provides an opportunity for graduate students across the university to learn how organizations, management, and managers can act as vehicles for fostering social justice, equity, and collective well-being, including the preservation of ecological
and social balance in the face of the drive for听 economic growth. Most 19th- and 20th-century management theories and practice were developed in a setting where managers were assumed to be white, male, and heterosexual. Today students seek alternative
models for managing and organizing, models that equip them to promote inclusion and justice in the workplace. This minor offers students a crucial foundation for realizing that vision and the opportunity to acquire career-relevant skills reflecting
