Public Praxis Minor
MAR PETER-RAOUL, Ph.D., Coordinator

As an academic response to the social disintegration characterizing much of present public life, the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies together with
the Department of Sociology has established an interdisciplinary Minor in Public Praxis. With a view to fully engaged learning and with a commitment to social
transformation, the Minor requires students to integrate on-site experience, scholarship, critical reflection, and rigorous analysis (social, ethical, political, economic,
religious).
Courses listed below must be chosen from among praxis-oriented sections. Additional praxis-oriented courses are offered each semester (see Projectkeepers for current
listings).
