Collaborating in research for social justice 

Welcome

The Centre for Social Justice and Community Action is a research centre at Durham University, made up of academic researchers from a number of departments and disciplines and community partners. Our aim is to promote and develop research, teaching, public/community engagement and staff development (both within and outside the university) around the broad theme of social justice in local and international settings, with a specific focus on participatory action research.

Fundraising Appeal  

The Centre for Social Justice and Community Action has recently launched its first fundraising appeal, supported by the University's Development and Alumni Relations Office. We are sending appeal letters to a selection of alumni in Applied Social Sciences, Anthropology and Geography, with the aim of raising resources to allow us to continue and develop our work in providing a bridge between the University and some of poorest communities locally and further afield. Our need for funding arises as the Beacon North East programme, which has been funding our part-time Development Officer and some of our events, ends in December 2011.   Some of our achievements to date are outlined in our brochure and annual report 2010-11(please see below).  

If you, like us, care passionately about social justice, please do consider donating to our efforts.
