The Justice Fellowship is a year-long interdisciplinary program of learning, exposure, and experience with a strong focus on out-of-the-classroom learning. The Justice Fellowship consists of five courses (for 15 credits) offered over the fall and winter semesters that focus on the principles and practice of justice, development, and reconciliation from a faith perspective.
The year is facilitated by The Micah Centre’s Program Director and led by a variety of King’s faculty and local justice leaders with the goal that students will have a better understanding of biblical justice and be empowered to heed the prophet Micah’s call to ‘do justice and love mercy’ in their lives and the lives of their communities.
Courses are offered module-style, one after the other, and emphasize experiential learning and exposure through visits with various communities, leaders, and organizations.
