Transformative Studies Institute: Empowering Minds and Transforming Lives
Transformative Studies Institute (TSI) is a nonprofit 501(c)3 think tank that is dedicated to empowering minds and transforming lives through education. Founded in 2005, TSI has been at the forefront of promoting critical thinking, social justice, and transformative learning.
At TSI, we believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about developing the skills and attitudes necessary to create positive change in the world. Our mission is to provide a platform for scholars, educators, activists, and students to engage in interdisciplinary research, dialogue, and action on issues related to social justice, sustainability, peacebuilding, human rights, diversity & inclusion.
One of our core activities at TSI is publishing independent peer-reviewed journals and books that explore cutting-edge ideas from diverse perspectives. Our flagship journal "Transformative Dialogues: Teaching & Learning Journal" provides a forum for educators around the world to share their experiences with transformative teaching practices that promote critical thinking skills among students.
We also publish books on topics such as transformative leadership development; social justice education; environmental sustainability; peacebuilding; human rights advocacy; diversity & inclusion training. Our publications are widely used by educators in universities across North America as well as by practitioners working in various fields such as community development organizations or non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
In addition to publishing academic works on these topics we also offer workshops/seminars/webinars/courses designed for professionals who want to deepen their understanding of these issues or develop new skills related to them. These events are led by experts from academia or practice who have extensive experience working with diverse communities around the world.
Our team at TSI consists of experienced scholars/educators/activists who are passionate about creating positive change through education. We work collaboratively with other organizations/institutions/government agencies/nonprofits etc., both locally and globally towards achieving our shared goals.
TSI is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We recognize that systemic oppression exists in many forms and we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, religion or ability.
