Research Units
Center for Social and Environmental Justice
The center engages community capacities to address poverty, inequality, discrimination, and unequally borne environmental dangers. To eliminate poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, we must address the intersections of racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism. The center supports interdisciplinary approaches to positive cultural, political, social, economic, and environmental change.
Division of Governmental Studies and Services
DGSS is an applied social science research unit within the Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice Program devoted to the provision of applied research services to federal, state, and local government agencies active in Washington. It is jointly supported by the College of Liberal Arts and WSU Extension.
