Website
Group Not Registered Yet

Mission
Duke Academia for Social Responsibility and the Common Good (DASRCgood) is a community of graduate and professional students committed to exploring how academia can serve the public good. We foster interdisciplinary dialogue to understand how diverse fields—ranging from science and public health to policy, law, and the humanities—can contribute to a more just and equitable society.

Through critical discussions, collaborative learning, and public engagement, we examine the role of research and professional practice in addressing pressing social challenges, including inequality, healthcare advancements, nonprofit efficiency, and policy impact. We also advocate for and engage with social justice movements, including climate action, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), trans rights, women’s rights, and international human rights.

DASRCgood seeks to bridge the gap between academia and real-world impact, empowering scholars to apply their knowledge in ways that drive meaningful change. By fostering a culture of responsibility and ethical scholarship, we aim to cultivate a new generation of socially engaged academics and professionals dedicated to the common good.

Mission
This group is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections across academic disciplines to enhance the personal and professional growth of graduate and professional students at Duke. We believe that creativity and innovation flourish when diverse perspectives intersect, yet graduate students across fields remain isolated from one another and are often unaware of opportunities to collaborate outside their home department.
Through peer mentorship, workshops and networking opportunities, we aim to create spaces where students can engage beyond their primary discipline, sparking new ideas and collaborative possibilities. Through our affiliation with the Office of Interdisciplinary Studies, we will provide a student-oriented experience that empowers budding scholars to expand their perspectives, refine their communication skills, and advance their academic, research and career goals.

Mission
Decolonizing Policymaking (DecolPol) aims to foster and facilitate transformational discussion and programming regarding the expansion of policymaking beyond exclusively US-Centered and Westernized approaches. The inclusion and uplifting of global perspectives and issues is a core value of the organization.

DecolPol recognizes that academic institutions are uniquely positioned to shape the tools of analysis used by future policymakers and is therefore invested in expanding the lens and teachings put forth by these institutions. DecolPol aims to shift the burden away from affected, individual students acting alone to advocate for institutional change by instead forming a collective effort that centers decolonial praxis. Club advocacy and initiatives will be grounded in this practice and driven by the principles of restorative justice.
