The study of history connects us to our past, enables us to assess the present, and guides us forward; it provides students with the framework and tools to understand the world, examine the role each person plays, and decide how they want to have an impact. At ESJF, based on our core value of recognizing human dignity, we incorporate lessons learned from the past to develop dignity-affirming and critical-thinking-based curricula. With students, educators, advocates, and researchers across the world, we’re committed to advancing social justice through education.
