Center for Peace, Justice and Human Rights (PJHR)
Launched in 2014, the Center for Peace, Justice and Human Rights (PJHR) Initiative grew out of FAU’s highly successful Peace Studies Program, which was founded in the 多萝西F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in 1999. PJHR is one of nine key “platforms” in the University’s Strategic Plan. The Initiative is a university-wide, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary effort that brings together scholars, 学生, practitioners, and community leaders engaged in the themes of social justice, 人权, and peace and nonviolence.
Our collaborative community includes 学生, university 工作人员, and community partners, as well as dozens of Faculty Affiliates who represent disciplines from across the university and FAU’s six campuses. PJHR also includes the Barb Schmidt Fellowship, Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education, and the Leon Charney Diplomacy Program. 在一起, we are the diverse faculty, 工作人员, and 学生 at a Hispanic-Serving public university, located at the crossroads of the United States and the Caribbean, who believe it is possible and necessary to create a more just, 和平, equitable world. Our goal is to create positive change locally, 在全国范围内, and inter在全国范围内 by advancing knowledge and bold solutions to social problems through our research, teaching and learning, 激进主义, and community engagement.
