Improving Human Well-Being by Investigating Social Inequalities
A Statement of Solidarity with Black Lives Matter and Against Anti-Blackness
SDSU’s College of Arts and Letters stands in solidarity with our Black communities. We denounce racism in any form and violence against Black people, and we stand firm in our belief that Black lives matter.
As a community of university faculty and staff, it is our duty to actively support and advocate for solutions to systemic racism across our nation, the world, and our campus. Read the full statement.
Announcements
Amy Wong, lecturer for the Department of Sociology, published a new book, Stories of Survival: The Paradox of Suicide Vulnerability and Resiliency among Asian

American college students. It uses a strength-based approach to understand how Asian
American college students live with their suicidal tendencies and offers practical
recommendations for colleges and universities to address the mental health challenges
of their students.
