Me: "Why should members of a university community think and talk about social justice?"

Jarquetta: "Our university was founded to ensure that everyone, regardless of background, was allowed access to higher education. We have to remember why we were founded in the first place and we can't stray too far away from that."

Me: "What social justice issues are most important to you?"

Jarquetta: "Being a woman here is much different than being a woman in other countries. I just recently started to feel conscious about being a woman. I took my Spring semester off last year to study abroad, traveling to twelve different countries. It really opened my eyes about how I am black and much younger than my colleagues. For each country we went to, the US would send us a list of rules that the countries follow and there would be one specifically for women. I decided to create a group called Women of the World where we would get together after every day and talk about the issues and experiences in each country."

Me: "What specific behaviors foster social justice?"

Jarquetta: " Speaking up when there is an issue you care about and stepping back when there is an issue being fought that you don't care about."

Me: "Who is responsible for creating socially just living conditions?"

Jarquetta: "Every person is responsible even though some people's opinions are different. They are responsible. Not every person fights the same battles."

Me: "How is social justice related to equality?"

Jarquetta: "In my opinion, social justice is ensuring how to be safe to express themselves and to be who they are. If they are allowed to be who they are then they would be equal."

Me: "Does poverty diminish human dignity?"
