“I graduated from BU with a major in Sociology and a minor in both French and Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Studies. The HGHRS minor was a valuable and rewarding experience that added a lot of depth and perspective to my other studies. It rooted my studies in sociology and passion for social justice in history and experience. I enjoyed the multidisciplinary aspect of the minor, as I got to approach issues through many perspectives and fields of study, including law, literature, and international relations. I carry this knowledge of past events and individual stories that I learned through my minor with me as I move forward in search of a job/career focused on helping people and bringing about justice.” – Daphne Jennings
