Perspectives on Power, Justice, And Equity 

The two-part transdisciplinary overlay aims to infuse the Weinberg College curriculum with active discussions about how to navigate the local-global continuum amidst the complex and highly dynamic social and political movements of today and in the past. In particular, these overlays ask students to reflect on their own perspective as necessarily the product of interconnected webs of people, ideas, and events.

Students complete one course (one unit) in each area. Overlay courses are eligible to be applied towards other degree requirements at the same time -  foundational disciplines, major, and/or advanced expression.
