Research

The International Institute supports several interdisciplinary, cross-regional research circles in which faculty and graduate students work on topical issues of global significance. The Institute also awards Graduate Student International Fieldwork Research Awards for research overseas.

 

Research Circles and Seminars:

Research Circles and Seminars, sponsored by the Division of International Studies, the International Institute and Global Studies, are designed to create new forms of area knowledge that cross traditional regional and disciplinary borders. They involve Madison faculty and graduate students from various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Circle participants regularly meet to study common concerns of global significance that involve multiple world regions. Their activites include organizing various series of speakers, workshops, conferences, courses, and carrying out collaborative research on topics of common interest. Some circles belong to collaborative networks of researchers worldwide as well as throughout the U.S. Funding for the circles comes from the International Institute and from the Global Studies Program.
