Call for Proposals: Graduate Working Groups on Global Issues; Apply by Sept. 15 – Funding and Other Opportunities for Duke Graduate Students

The Duke University Center for International & Global Studies (DUCIGS) invites proposals for interdisciplinary, student-driven groups with an international and global focus. DUCIGS will provide up to $1,000 annually per working group for expenses related to meetings. Additional funds may be requested for reading & audio-visual materials, mini-conferences, seminars, symposia, workshops, etc.

In addition to receiving proposals with an international/global focus, DUCIGS encourages submissions that focus on Africa and Asia (the Africa Initiative and the Global Asia Initiative will consider supporting such regional proposals) and themes of interest to the Asian American and Diaspora Studies Program (AADS). This year, we also invite students to submit proposals focusing on the role of science in diplomacy. Working Groups from previous academic years are strongly encouraged to re-apply.

We suggest the formation of working groups comprised of members from at least two different disciplines. Meetings should be held at least four times each semester.

Applications due: Wednesday, September 15, 2021

About This Site

The Duke Graduate School receives emails from various Duke units and external organizations and institutions about funding, career, training, and other opportunities that may be of interest to graduate students. This site is a running collection of those opportunities.

If you have an opportunity you wish to share with Duke graduate students, you can submit it to grad-web@duke.edu for consideration. As general policy, we do not accept submissions from for-profit operations, except for funding or career opportunities (e.g., internships).

The Graduate School posts the information as it was submitted and is not responsible for any inaccuracies. Questions about a specific post should be directed to the organization offering the opportunity, not to The Graduate School.
