Drexel Justice Collaborative

Who We Are

At its core, the Drexel Justice Collaborative (DJC) is a lab for Drexel University students and faculty across disciplines to learn about and get involved in justice-related research and community engagement projects. It is funded by the College of Arts & Sciences and the Kline School of Law.

Mission

To support the development of evidence-based policy and legislation in the justice and correctional spaces through rigorous research and meaningful front-line community engagement. Rooted in university-level goals, DJC aims to advance knowledge generation and interdisciplinary collaboration on critical issues such as gun violence, access to justice, prison reform, and community empowerment. DJC is equally committed to fostering innovative pedagogy, cultivating the next generation of scholars and practitioners equipped to address the evolving challenges of justice reform.

What We Do

The DJC seeks to engage law students, graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences, and faculty from multiple disciplines and colleges at Drexel University through workshops, lectures, and opportunities for independent and collaborative community-engaged scholarship, linked by a substantive focus on justice.
