Hope: The Core Of Social Justice, Emily K. Locke
Public & Community Service Student Scholarship
The purpose of Hope: The Core of Social Justice, is to defend the role of hope in social justice movements.

Data will be gathered primarily from the OAS’ own data bases and compiled into the QDA software for analysis. This analysis will allow the …
