The BRIDGE Alliance, a partnership between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and University of Birmingham, recently commemorated its 10-year anniversary by announcing an investment to establish strategic research partnerships with the Global South, focusing on global health, sustainability, and education access and equity. In addition, the BRIDGE Seed Fund, some $200,000 of annual funding, continues to kick-start research projects between the two universities. Professor Colleen Murphy and colleagues at Birmingham are the beneficiaries of the BRIDGE Seed Fund, for their proposed collaborative project "Establishing and Inaugurating Transitional Justice and Human Rights Network." The project involves a workshop focused on the intersection of human rights law and transitional justice as well as a visit in the spring of 2025 to discuss future collaborations.
