The Global Scholars Academy is a prestigious residential program for junior faculty, doctoral, and post-doctoral scholars who are developing new and heterodox approaches to global law, economic policy, and social justice.

This intensive program is designed to enable emerging scholars working to understand and map the levers of political, economic, and legal authority in the world today, participate and engage in sustained, interdisciplinary, peer-to-peer collaboration under the close mentorship of research faculty drawn from the world’s top universities. The Academy offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum that includes thematic minicourses, plenary lectures, and writing workshops.
