The Center provides an institutional framework to promote the work of faculty and its partners in the area of civil and human rights.
The Center:
• puts on an annual conference on the pursuit of justice, attracting national and international audiences interested in civil and human rights, including scholars, judges, practitioners, and activists.
• offers a series of workshops and presentations where faculty from Gonzaga and other institutions share ideas and works-in-progress on topics related to the Center’s goals.
• hosts an annual speaker series, bringing nationally recognized scholars for public forums regarding civil and human rights.
As an interdisciplinary project, the Center also works with other schools and departments, both within Gonzaga and beyond, to raise awareness about the ways in which the law can promote civil and human rights and serve the public good.
