Description
The Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame funds working groups that advance scholarship in a focused area and promote intellectual collaboration and innovation. Led by Kellogg faculty fellows, groups stimulate inquiry within the Institute and across the University on critical global issues related to its core research theme of global democracy.
Groups typically bring together an interdisciplinary mix of faculty, visiting fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates to explore emerging research themes and topical questions. Support covers the practical costs of scholarly collaboration, including student assistants, guest speakers, meetings, and materials. The program prioritizes interdisciplinary exchange and the potential for concrete academic results, such as conferences, publications, research projects, and outside funding. Groups must plan to share their products with the wider Kellogg community.
