Racism is a global issue. The protests around the world that the killing of George Floyd ignited has made universities from the Jesuit network share resources and collaborate to meet the demands of their communities.

Such examples of those collaborations happened last month, between the Jesuit Alberto Hurtado University (UAH) in Chile and the University of San Francisco through USF’s Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice and the Arrupe Initiatives, the event “In defense of Human Rights: An Interview with Clarence Jones was organized

In a conversation after the event, Constanza Bauer, the deputy director of international cooperation of UAH, mentioned that international collaboration between the University of San Francisco and the University in Chile has set up in motion other collaborations with USF and other Jesuit Universities. Kique Bazan, the Director of Arrupe Initiatives is also optimistic about international collaborations between Jesuit universities “we are seeing that, even if we can’t travel, the world is getting smaller”
