UNXD 1030-130: Intersections of Social Justice
Intersections of Social Justice is an online learning opportunity offered through Georgetown University’s Center for Social Justice. During the Georgetown University Summer School cross-section term, students in UNXD 1030-130: Intersections of Social Justice earn 1 credit pass/fail through online, asynchronous reflection and skills-building that wraps around their employment, internship, community-based work, or volunteer commitment anywhere around the world. Intersections students ask ethical questions and apply social justice theories to real world issues in diverse work settings in virtual collaboration with a tight-knit learning cohort. CSJ has limited need-based scholarships to cover some or all of the cost of the 1-credit of tuition. Students are encouraged to express their interest in Intersections early in the Spring 2024 semester to be considered for these limited funds. In Summer 2024, UNXD 1030 will be taught by Lionell Daggs III and Blaythe Ayala; read more about them!

Intersections was similarly offered in summers 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 engaging students committed to a diversity of summer work experiences, from researching road safety in Tanzania, to boxing for empowerment in Berlin, to teaching English in Romania, to canvassing for worker justice in Washington, DC. These Intersections communities engaged in 8 weeks of reflection rooted in community-based experiences.
While Intersections began as a variable credit course, it is now offered as a 1-credit, pass/fail, asynchronous, online course.
