Social Development and Education

In summer 2023, Pragyan Kumar Acharya (SFS’24) conducted research at Xavier University in Ateneo de Cagayan, the Philippines through the Education and Social Justice Project, a joint project of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Center for Social Justice Research, Teaching and Service at Georgetown University. During his three weeks, he observed, interviewed, and participated in the life of the Night School Program, a government-subsidized social development project sponsored by the university's School of Education. His research sought to understand how the volunteers at the Night School sustain their work through the Arrupe Volunteer Framework.
