The Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice is the applied peacebuilding institute of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies. We bring together faculty expertise, student talent, practitioner knowledge, and external partnerships to address concrete peace and justice challenges. Through applied research, clinical education, evaluation, and public engagement, we turn ideas and evidence into practical action.
