Centers and Initiatives
At the School of Social Transformation our focus is transformational knowledge, including creative research approaches to themes and questions embedded in broader historical, social and cultural contexts.
Our centers, initiatives and signature events reflect our dedication to examining the processes of change and developing collaborative spaces to work with others in changing the world.
