Campus Partners
Ignatian Family Teach In for Justice 2019
The Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching, and Service collaborates with offices and departments across the University throughout the academic year. These partnerships deepen and expand CSJ’s work and mission. Below are some departments with which CSJ collaborates on a frequent basis.
The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs
The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of religion, ethics, and public life. Through research, teaching, and service, the Center explores global challenges of democracy and human rights; economic and social development; international diplomacy; and inter-religious understanding. Two premises guide the Berkley Center’s work: that a deep examination of faith and values is critical to address these challenges, and that the open engagement of religious and cultural traditions with one another can promote peace. The Berkley Center partners with the Center for Social Justice on the Education and Social Justice Research Project.
