Fusing action and thought
Social justice and human rights are among the most important of all human and spiritual values. While many people and cultures support such values in principle, their implementation seems altogether more difficult. Our Institute seeks to promote action and thought that might generate better outcomes for entire societies, and for the least fortunate in particular.
What’s distinctive about us?
We have identified two problems, not one. Most social justice supporters realise how unjust things are. But there’s an additional problem alongside vast injustice: flawed responses. The upshot of these flaws is insufficient hope, insight, skills or resilience for the work of justice to succeed. We specialise in addressing these deficits.
