Georgetown University Law Center seeks not only to mpart the tools of the lawyer’s trade, but also to foster eflection and inquiry into the nature of law and the role and responsibility of lawyers in a global society. The goal is education in its fullest sense—not only mastery of “black letter law,” but a sense of the philosophical political, social and ethical dimensions of law, the awakening of an abiding curiosity about its nature and purposes, and the instilling of a sense of responsibility for its development and direction.
Georgetown nurtures the very highest standards of scholarly inquiry, intellectual rigor and ethical behavior, in a way that respects each student’s individuality and fosters his or her particular interests and career goals. The result is a dynamic intellectual community, in which students have an unprecedented range of academic opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
The Sanford School of Public Policy is a vibrant community whose members are engaged in understanding and seeking solutions to local, national and global policy issues. Since its founding in 1971, Sanford has prepared undergraduates and graduates for leadership roles in government, business and the nonprofit sector. We’ve fostered in them a sense that in the realm of public decision-making, good intentions and common sense are not enough. To make a difference in the complex issues of today, students need skills in political and economic analysis, knowledge about how to lead people and organizations and a strong ethical foundation for decision-making. These are a few of things the Sanford School offers
Building on the theoretical legacies of Kurt Lewin and Morton Deutsch, we conduct basic and applied research on theory related to conflict, justice, cooperation, and systemic change.
We work to bridge the gap between theory and practice in these areas.
Education
We educate future leaders who will further the development of theory and practice in the interrelated areas of conflict resolution, cooperation, and social justice with the ultimate goal of understanding and supporting sustainable peace.
We seek to increase public awareness of constructive methods for conflict prevention and resolution, of the many forms of oppression, and of strategies for overcoming social injustice in families, organizations, and communities worldwide and for fostering sustainable peace.
Practice
We work with educational, non-profit, corporate, and governmental organizations to provide culturally sensitive and locally relevant services related to conflict, violence, justice, cooperation, and social change.
We seek to broaden and enhance our international collaborative network.
