社会 & 文化
Advancing peace, justice & comprehension
We're committed to social consciousness 和 public service, a commitment that carries over into our research efforts. Our faculty 和 students perform research funded by the Carnegie Corporation to explore nonviolent action in violent settings, with particular focus on non-state actors 和 non-violent strategies as drivers of security.
We also believe that when the most vulnerable members of a population are cared for 和 protected, society as a whole benefits. Through our partnership with Denver Public 学校 for the Spotlight on Success program, we work to find methods to end the school-to-prison pipeline. Globally or locally, we strive to give our students the opportunity to better their world.
Creating Diverse Partnerships
We have a long history of collaborating with an array of organizations, including the United Nations Development Program, the Social 健康 Advocacy Network, Biennial of the Americas, OxFam America 和 the World Wildlife Fund, among many others.
Helping Children Globally
Our diverse slate of research 项目 improves conditions for children around the globe. Efforts include uncovering the ways marriage bans hurt children, research that was cited in the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage.
Connecting Worldwide
Through research institutes focused on China, the Middle East, the European Union 和 Latin America, you'll have the opportunity to influence policy 和 promote positive cultural exchange.
