JMU’s Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR) leads interdisciplinary research and impact projects to address the consequences of armed conflict. We work with partners in government, education, and civil society to solve challenges in the humanitarian and security sectors. Our mission: to strengthen responsible global citizenship.
A Center of Excellence at JMU
The Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR) at James Madison University advances human dignity, ethical responsibility, and global citizenship in communities affected by conflict and crisis. Through research, training, and partnership, CISR supports efforts to reduce the impact of war, strengthen local capacity for recovery, and foster conditions for human flourishing and moral integrity. In an era shaped by technological disruption and social fragmentation, CISR’s mission extends beyond physical safety to the cultivation of agency, connection, and purpose, so that individuals and institutions are empowered to respond to global challenges with compassion, wisdom, and resilience.
