The Center for Social Concerns offers a Graduate Student Institute for Engaged Research and Teaching during the fall semester break. Designed for graduate students in all fields at all levels interested in applying their disciplinary lens and tools to issues of justice, the institute explores principles and effective models of public scholarship and community engagement. Participants experience a mix of dialogue with community and academic leaders, workshops, guided reflection, and community walking tours. Visit this page for more information on the 2023 Institute.

The application is currently closed. Check back for more information about the 2024 Institute or contact Dave Lassen at dlassen@nd.edu.
