Our mission will be accomplished through:
-
Programming, Research, and Advocacy
. CHR graduate fellows and faculty fellows/visiting faculty fellows will contribute to existing research, policy and legislative reforms, and develop programming that centers decarceration and dismantling persistent legacies of criminalization and injustice in collaboration with racial and social justice organizations, scholars and institutional partners across multiple disciplines. Innovative programming or projects will create new networks of interdisciplinary collaboration that promote justice, racial equity, and freedom.
-
Radical Teaching Support
. CHR identifies and supports teaching and co-teaching initiatives that provide creative, experiential learning models for CSUF students exploring topics in Carceral Studies, Gender Studies, Criminal Justice, African American Studies, and other disciplines.
-
Advanced Service Models
. CHR Faculty fellows integrate community and academic leadership to mitigate barriers to wellbeing, retention, and achievement for graduate fellows and
Faculty at CSUF. Innovative service will be characterized by dynamic opportunities for mentorship of CSUF Faculty by a diverse group of community, corporate, and academic leaders from across California and abroad.
