Global Impact Graduate Fellowships

Application Timeframe: Spring

We're looking for graduate students to join the Einaudi Center's inequalities, identities, and justice team as they map out a new global studies curriculum. Apply now to be a fellow in the spring 2024 semester!

Graduate fellows receive a stipend of $1,000 for the semester.

New in 2024: Global Impact Fellows

Launching in spring 2024, this opportunity is open to grad students from all research disciplines with a demonstrated interest in interdisciplinary and/or international work. Selected fellows will form a focus group to develop a global studies curriculum for a future Einaudi Center graduate certificate.

Global Impact Fellows will meet regularly through the spring 2024 semester with Einaudi director Rachel Beatty Riedl and inequalities, identities, and justice faculty fellows Edward E. Baptist and Jennifer Newsom. You'll play a crucial role in designing syllabi and presenting a showcase of graduate research with global impact.

Global Studies at Einaudi

At Einaudi, we envision global studies as the interdisciplinary study of global macro-processes—with hands-on training in applying research to practice. Our global studies students will explore humanity’s most urgent challenges while working on interdisciplinary and international teams to create real-world solutions.

The Einaudi Center's curriculum will draw from the knowledge base of our regional and thematic programs, with unmatched expertise in world cultures, languages, history, religions, and governments. Global studies students will learn about global politics, economics, law, ecology, geography, and communication and work on complex interdisciplinary topics like cultural and economic globalization, global power dynamics, and human impacts on the environment.

Inequalities, Identities, and Justice

The Einaudi Center supports public scholarship and thought leadership to address inequalities experienced across the globe, including cleavages in society like race, religion, gender and sexuality, class, caste, language, and ethnicity. We seek to identify opportunities for transformative change and increased justice in migration and citizenship regimes, climate and land policy, economic opportunities, food systems, health, politics, and policing.
