Description
Ohio State University’s Mershon Center for International Security Studies supports extended engagement with visiting scholars or practitioners beyond a lecture or conference. Residents may engage broadly with faculty and students, but the primary purpose is focused exchange with Mershon community members that benefits both residents and hosts. Supported programming and longer-term residencies should bring collective benefit to the Mershon community, Ohio State, and security studies.
The Center cultivates innovative research on international, national, and human security challenges, emphasizing the human and social dimensions of diplomacy, conflict, peacemaking, governance, and cooperative problem-solving. It encourages interdisciplinary, collaborative, and engaged research, including work with clear implications for policy or practice. Projects should incorporate multiple perspectives from within or outside academia and explain why Mershon is an appropriate home for the work.
