Social Justice, Participation & Human Rights
We recognise that we live in an unequal world where social justice is compromised, human rights are violated and opportunities for meaningful participation are constrained on a daily basis.
Social justice, participation and human rights are not just words on paper, they are terms that go to the heart of what we at Maynooth University believe in and seek to address through our research, learning and professional practice.
Maynooth University is an ideal Host Institution for a Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship and this cluster is interested in finding potential applicants. Find a mentor below or contact SocialJusticeRights@mu.ie for more information.
