Human Rights and Social Justice is offered as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) through Carleton University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The program examines institutional and everyday inequities faced by people globally, drawing on legal, social, and political frameworks used to address discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and other factors. Coursework applies interdisciplinary humanities and social-science perspectives to historical and contemporary human-rights issues, including strategies such as social movements and international human-rights mechanisms, alongside challenges to advancing equality. The program combines theoretical study with applied analysis of rights-based approaches to social problems. Graduates are prepared for further study or careers in human-rights advocacy, policy, non-governmental organizations, international institutions, and related fields. Coursework draws on disciplines across the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, combining case studies of specific human-rights situations with study of the legal and political mechanisms used to respond to them.
