The Environmental Justice and the Common Good Initiative fosters community-driven research for social and environmental justice. We conduct research and provide training, resources, and networking to support community-driven research partnerships for environmental justice among community organizations, Santa Clara University faculty and students, and other academic institutions in Northern California and Jesuit higher education. The Initiative is uniquely positioned to contribute research, training, and networking to: - Strengthen environmental justice in the Silicon Valley and South Bay. - Build stronger links between Catholic social ministry and grassroots environmental justice organizations. - Spread a community-driven, participatory approach to environmental justice research among Jesuit higher education institutions in the United States and globally.
