Careers in Social Justice

Much is taking place now because of the protests and activism in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. I have a link to some resources I’ve started to collect about not violent action, and have posted a statement on my home page.

You might have students who are thinking about how to take their passion into a career? Or maybe you are thinking of that yourself?

I want to recommend my book Peace Jobs: A Student’s Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016) as a resource. In Chapter 7: Activism, Social Justice and Environmental Action, I look at pathways to careers and strategies that can be considered.
