What is Social Justice?
Adams, Bell and Griffin (2007) define social justice as both a process and a goal: "The goal of social justice education is full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs. Social justice includes a vision of society that is equitable and all members are physically and psychologically safe and secure."
