Sié Center Engagement Initiatives

Security, prosperity, and social justice are often treated as separate research programs, but they are intrinsically linked. Security problems rarely arise out of thin air, but instead are often linked to concerns about social justice. Similarly, conflict has direct implications for the prosperity of societies. And relative prosperity is tied to both social justice and security. Effective action to address these concerns is thereby aided by attention to their interactions. Research at the Sié Center aims to improve the world through exploring connections among security, prosperity, and social justice concerns.

Responsible Public Engagement

At the broadest level, our ongoing work on Responsible Public Engagement, including our Ethics of Engagement website and collaborative trainings, aims to generate self-reflection and conversation related to the ethics of public engagement.
