Program Partnerships

Boston College

The Center for Human Rights and International Justice at Boston College addresses the increasingly interdisciplinary needs of human rights work.  The Center has embarked upon this collaborative project in partnership with Catholic Relief Services, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Institute for Peace and International Relations at Hekima College in Nairobi, Kenya. It will identify and analyze the multidimensional issues faced by those who seek to aid forced migrants in both the African context and throughout the world. Greater clarity about these important ethical issues will inform the development of a more effective advocacy and humanitarian response.

Fairfield University

In partnership with Fairfield University Migration Program, JRS/USA collaborates on teaching and research projects that investigate the experience of detained asylum seekers, migration issues, and ways of helping refugees become more self-sufficient.

Jesuit Migration Service Network (SJM)

In partnership with the Jesuit Migration Service-Mexico, JRS/USA collaborates with the broader migration network of Jesuit-affiliated organizations throughout North and South America whose goal is to cooperate on areas of academic research, advocacy, and social/pastoral care of migrants.  JRS/USA and Jesuit Migration Service-Mexico are two of the founding members of the Kino Border Initiative.
