CTSJ is dedicated to providing a forum for undergraduate students to develop and share critical research and writing on the intersections of “race,” “sexuality,” and “nationality” as they relate to problems of social justice. The journal seeks to foster exchange of ideas across disciplines and deepen understandings of systems of injustice, and in this way advances the mission of Occidental College: to develop critical, thoughtful, and active participation in an increasingly pluralistic and conflict-ridden global culture.
