Intro to Women and Justice Studies elaborates on the required content of the intro course to the minor, WJST 110. This section highlights the intersection of theology and gender, as it provides a look at women's role within the Church.

Human Trafficking covers both sex and labor trafficking and provides resources for a major topic of emphasis within the minor. This section will be especially helpful for upper division WJST courses.
