Human Rights
and Conflict Studies
Sandra L. Sprayberry, Program Coordinator
The minor in human rights and conflict studies provides students with critical skills and
perspectives necessary for creating a more just and peaceful society. Students learn
about social movements and their contemporary legacies through literature, historical
accounts, and political policy by taking courses across four areas: representation,
historical and social context, consequences and effects, and social change. The skills and
perspectives acquired after completing the minor will benefit students who plan to
pursue graduate study or a career in business, government, education, public service or
advocacy and development work.
