The Center on Global Justice (CGJ) is a research center at UC San Diego, launched in 2012 to advance interdisciplinary research on poverty and global development, with an emphasis on collective action at community scale. The CGJ is home to initiatives focused on global ethics and cooperation (the conventional terrain of global justice), but the majority of our initiatives localize the global, focusing on real-world intervention at local scale, in partnership with non-profits, government agencies and civic stakeholders—top-down and bottom-up. Community partnership and public commitment lie at the heart of everything we do.
