A two-year project to update a Global Peace, Law, & Justice concentration

Felician University requests National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Spotlight on Humanities in Higher Education development grant support to strengthen and modify the current Global Peace & Justice concentration (renamed to Global Peace, Law, & Justice (GPL&J). Two new humanities (HUM) courses, 1) Environmental Ethics Seminar and 2) Introduction to Global Social Justice will be offered as part of the core curriculum for GPL&J concentration. Additionally, Felician is one of the few universities in the world to be granted Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status at the United Nations (UN). In proposing the modified GPL&J concentration, Felician aims to work with the UN to bring about impactful change, revitalize the current HUM content, and attract and retain the student population it serves.
