Center for Humanizing Education and Research (C-HER)

The Center strives to increase institutional and collective capacity to impact public consciousness, policy, and practice in order to build stronger movements towards justice. The Center provides a space to engage in the critical reflection necessary for transformative action and imagining something new.

Center Activities

C-HER has four key areas of work which occur simultaneously and in dialogue with each other:

• Critical Reflection: C-HER is a site where we engage in critical reflection and learning in ourselves and our work in collective ways.
• Generation: C-HER is a site for generating and identifying focal questions and needs leading to research and/or collective action.
• Application: C-HER is a site where people gather to think about how research can help us strategize for a more just future.
• Diffusion: C-HER serves as a clearinghouse that disseminates seminal pieces and USF faculty and student research and implications for practice.

Collaborations

C-HER partners with initiatives and events across USF that contribute to the collective project of humanizing education and research.

Jesuit Foundation Grant Initiative
