Description
The Gustavo Gutiérrez Research Awards support scholarly projects in theology, history, and the social sciences that engage with or take inspiration from the work of Rev. Gustavo Gutiérrez, O.P. (1928–2024). Launched in 2025, the awards are administered by the Cushwa Center at the University of Notre Dame as part of its research funding programs.
The program’s central focus is the connection between the proposed research and Gutiérrez’s work. It supports both projects that engage directly with that work and those inspired by it, extending across historical and social science research as well as theology.
