The JSRI Take Five for Social Justice video series features short interviews with researchers, advocates, and educators from Loyola University New Orleans or elsewhere in the Jesuit world on their cutting-edge social justice-related work. A major goal is to help our JSRI audience gain, in a short amount of time, insight into an important social justice issue and to inspire viewers to learn more about the issue, question their own assumptions about social problems, and/or to take action to address injustices that may be discussed during these presentations.
In addition, the Institute publishes occasional issue papers, the texts of addresses by the staff and colleagues, and JSRI conference documents as free-standing reports to supplement our regular publications. View archives »
