Social Justice in Education is an undergraduate minor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. The program examines the historical roots and ongoing patterns of social and educational injustice, with an emphasis on the Canadian context, including responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action. Students develop the theoretical and practical tools needed to recognize and challenge injustice and to create more equitable educational practices. Coursework includes lower-division requirements such as EDUC 100W (Selected Questions and Issues in Education), which introduces philosophical, historical, cross-cultural, and empirical approaches to educational questions, and EDUC 240 (Social Issues in Education), which examines the social, political, economic, and cultural influences on schooling. The minor may be added to any degree program, and students are encouraged to select courses that build on their individual interests within the field of social justice. It functions as a complement to a student's primary degree rather than as a standalone credential.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Physical Education, Secondary Teaching and Social Justice in Education are minors, and Literacy Instruction a certificate, housed in the Faculty of Education; none has its own published entrance average. Social Justice in Education states it 'may be added to any degree,' and Literacy Instruction is added to a student's major through a faculty advisor, so the base direct-entry route is the Faculty of Education's Bachelor of General Studies. BC/Yukon applicants need a minimum of five approved Grade 12 courses, including English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 70 percent, or the equivalent AP or IB course. Grade 11 prerequisites include English 11, Math 11 or Foundations of Mathematics/Pre-Calculus 11, one approved science course, and one Social Studies 11 course. At Grade 12, Course List A requires the English course plus two further courses from a broad approved list spanning humanities, science and social-science subjects. Admission is holistic across all approved Grade 11 and 12 marks; SFU publishes no fixed minimum competitive average for the Bachelor of General Studies route.
