Building Knowledge For Social Justice
Overview
The goal of this work is to cultivate knowledge for progressive social change and develop the next generation of scholars who will inform it.
The Challenge
The current economic crisis and political transition in the United States have kindled in the nation an opportunity to rebuild a social contract around fairness and opportunity, collective responsibility and the common good.
What We're Doing
To make this happen, we are seeking compelling ideas, evidence and arguments that inspire and inform concrete steps toward a society where all have fair and decent work, where difference doesn't mean exclusion and disadvantage, and where all participate in democratic civic life.
We are particularly focused on identifying leaders whose work can inform and sustain a social contract based on justice and developing the next generation of public intellectuals.
To create and communicate knowledge for social change, we support:
- Think tanks
- Public intellectuals
- Scholars
- Media
