The Center for Justice & Reconciliation (CJR) is part of Point Loma Nazarene University.
Here at the CJR, we envision a community that looks to PLNU for leadership, innovation and solutions to complex community issues. Our role at the CJR is to ask the question: What are the needs in our community that Point Loma Nazarene University can uniquely address? Answering this question means leveraging our expertise, relationships and initiatives to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, teach social engagement through the lens of our faith, and bring lasting change to our community. Our work includes student-led initiatives, nationally recognized research projects, community leadership, and educational outreach. Despite the overwhelming scale and scope of the challenges in our world, our faith leads us to proactively engage with truth, wisdom, and hope. At the CJR we leverage research, advocacy, and innovation, dedicated to justice and reconciliation, to transform our community through social change. To learn more CJR projects, click here. |

Cup of Culture
The Cup of Culture series is a forum to foster dialogue about diversity, inclusion, justice, and reconciliation. We seek to challenge our community to explore our individual identities (racial, ethnicity, nationality, ability, gender, etc.) and understand the experience of others, identify how systems contribute to oppression and work together toward a more just society.
This year's focus will explore how our identities are informed, shaped, and challenged by the stories around us. We are inviting speakers who are storytellers from diverse experiences so that our community can see and know each other--our struggles and victories--all the more clearly and fully. We will dive into specific issues and hear from experts and leaders in the search for deeper empathy and connection within our interwoven stories.
Join us! This program is co-sponsored by the offices of Multicultural and International Student Services and the Center for Justice & Reconciliation. Each event will be held in person on PLNU's Campus: The ARC on the bottom floor of Nicholson Commons.
