Partners
Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-Discrimination Law
The Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-Discrimination Law brings together over 500 scholars, activists, NGO workers, government anti-discrimination agency lawyers and officials, PhD candidates and other graduate students, and legal practitioners from six continents, to address the problems of systemic inequality and discrimination. Its principal mission is to expand our understanding of inequality and discrimination through the tools of comparative legal studies, and to transfer that knowledge from those who study inequality to those who enforce anti-discrimination law. Its objective is not simply to study the problems of inequality and discrimination, but to help activists/advocates use the work of scholars to bring positive change globally.
