SJRI E-Communications

SJRI mobilizes and disseminates information in support of social justice research locally, nationally and internationally using a variety of digital technologies. These communication tools are platforms for knowledge exchange, including our:

• Monthly electronic newsletter (the SJRI E-Bulletin) used to facilitate research projects by engaging/highlighting current and prospective members and providing quick links to funding, collaboration, and publication opportunities.
• Weekly email digest with timely information about opportunities and events of special relevance to SJRI such as events/talks co-sponsored by SJRI, featuring members, or highlighting activities in the Niagara region. Email us to submit content or sign-up to receive the SJRI email digest.
• Twitter channel to promote and raise awareness of SJRI members and other social justice programming and events. Follow us at BrockSJRI.
• *New* social justice listserv shared with Brock’s Social Justice and Equity Studies Program to facilitate internal discussion about and planning for movement, protest, or activism-related information and events. Sign-up here to join the listserv or email us. To send an email to the listserv, please email socialjustice-l@brocku.ca. The listserv is not moderated and does not represent an endorsement by any department at Brock University. Emails that are sent out are sent on behalf of the individual or group sending them. You may unsubscribe from the listserv at any time.

Please note that once the SJRI Projects Facilitator begins her leave in June 2015, the SJRI email digest will be circulated bi-weekly and e-bulletins will be discontinued until further notice. Please visit the SJRI blog and website for information on social justice funding, events, and other opportunities.
