Abstract

Young adults are often the catalyst for societal change and often during their time in higher education settings is where they exercise their civic voice and impact the university setting as well. The social justice continuum model is a framework for institutions of higher education to reflect and assess on their efforts related to social justice and involve students in changing the environment and helping the institution maintain its commitment to social justice. This chapter focuses on culturally and linguistically diverse students who attend predominantly white institutions. The areas of (a) curriculum, (b) mentoring, (c) admissions and (d) the learning environment will be examined in relation to the social justice continuum model and recommendations are provided to assist institutions in embodying social justice principles in action and providing a robust culturally sustaining learning experience for all students.
