About the Emory ASJ Program
Currently celebrating its fifth year, the Arts & Social Justice Program unites Emory faculty with Atlanta-based artists to co-teach courses, incorporating creative expression as a tool to examine societal issues. Each partnership fosters a hands-on approach that connects Emory students to the Atlanta community, building skills to engage in meaningful social change.
This year, Emory's ASJ Program is excited to announce a new collaboration with Spelman College, uniting students and faculty from both institutions to explore social justice through innovative artistic practices and shared creative spaces.
