I am director of the Center for Public Policy at The Union Institute (a University, not a trade union organization). The Center conducts applied research, with the primary focus on the role nonprofits can play in promoting democracy and social justice and meeting human needs. Prior to joining the Center in June of 1998, I worked with legal services groups and related advocacy organizations and taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz, while conducting graduate studies in political and economic sociology. For what it's worth, I think the Community Tool Box is a great resource for folks working on social justice, etc., issues. Thanks.
