The Global Initiative is a faculty-driven collaborative initiative to promote global studies, international studies, and area studies at Rutgers.
This project draws upon the energies and expertise of faculty in many departments and area studies units. The initiative sponsors several working groups that bring together faculty and graduate students across different departments, units, and schools to conduct research on
shared themes. Global Initiative participants are also engaged in an ongoing discussion of different models for structuring global studies by bringing in guests from comparable peer institutions to learn about how global/international studies has been institutionalized elsewhere.
The Global Initiative also serves as a clearinghouse for information about things global at Rutgers through our listserv, shared calendar of events, meetings to share information.
