Providing community-driven research and learning for environmental and social justice.
- At SCU
By offering faculty development, grants, and networking, we promote environmental justice research and learning that respond directly to community needs and priorities.
- In California and Beyond
We helped build a network that supports innovative research and teaching collaborations for environmental justice through partnerships among academic institutions and community-based organizations.
- In Jesuit Education
We foster environmental justice research and learning collaborations among faculty, staff, students, Jesuit educators, Catholic social ministry, and others around the world.
