Las Casas Institute

The Las Casas Institute, based at Blackfriars Hall in Oxford, is dedicated to exploring issues of social justice and human rights through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. It focuses on the dignity of every human being and the impact of socio-economic inequalities. The institute engages in research, educational programs, and public discussions, aiming to promote ethical practices in various fields, including business, politics, and law. Named after Bartolomé de las Casas, a 16th-century advocate for indigenous rights, the institute seeks to foster a more just and compassionate society through dialogue and action.
