Advocacy and Activism

We are committed to exploring the role of grassroots action in bringing about social, political, and cultural change.  We view PARC as a collaborative center, forging connections between the local community and the university while remaining focused on a larger global context.  To further enhance these new relationships, we will draw upon the vast expertise that exists within the Maxwell School and new avenues of research, such as the use of arts as a medium for activism, the resurgence of the anti-nuclear movement, and the redefining of our approaches to the resolution of conflicts.
