Vision

Our vision is for Lang to be a critical space where transformative learning occurs. To that end, we actively create brave spaces for students, faculty, and staff to show up fully and progress together toward a more just society. Our classrooms and our campus community are free from violence; a place where we recognize that we each are at different places in our journeys to discovering everyone's full humanity, but not placing undue burden on those forced to carry that burden in society.

We envision a campus climate that is a microcosm of how we would like our society to function. Our curriculum reflects a justice-centered pedagogy that recognizes intersectionality and the role history and institutions have played to shape our thoughts and beliefs. We engage in social justice through a global lens, intentionally connecting diaspora to help us best understand how systems of oppression are created, sustained and reproduced.

As a progressive institution, we encourage resilience to thrive within current systems of oppression, while imagining a more liberated society. We strive to equip our community with the resources to be leaders in movement-building toward that liberation.
