Social Justice Research



There are many ways to research social justice issues, including such methods as traditional library research, large-scale quantitative approaches, and ethnographic studies. However it is undertaken, the goal is to enlarge our understanding of thinking about social justice and ways to advance it in settings from the micro to the macro, from the local to the global.
