About the Center for Civility
The Applied Research Center for Civility (Center for Civility) is a joint initiative of UC San Diego and the National Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC), with a shared mission of overcoming hate, intolerance, and incivility.
Combining NCRC’s experience in conflict resolution and communication programming and UC San Diego’s experience in research, data collection, and quantitative analyses, the Center for Civility aims to address society’s most challenging social issues and support groups and individuals in finding solutions that foster connection in divisive times.
Research is shared through an annual report and featured at a national conference in San Diego, CA, featuring experts and participants from across the country.
