Faculty

The Kellogg Institute aims to promote international research in comparative international studies by attracting top-level faculty and visitors to Notre Dame and by providing them with a supportive community of scholarship. Through various program activities, the Institute fosters interdisciplinary research on contemporary political, economic, social and religious issues. Each year, the Kellogg Institute helps to organize international conferences and workshops related to the Institute's research agenda.

Kellogg researchers include more than 60 resident Kellogg Fellows from 18 academic departments and programs within the faculty of Notre Dame. They are joined by Visiting Fellows and Guest Scholars, who may hail from Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the US, as well as policy practitioners and students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Institute’s research agenda, reflecting a commitment to democracy and development, focuses on five primary themes.

The Kellogg Institute provides funding for an array of faculty initiatives including research projects, working groups, fellowships and research conferences and workshops. To increase the impact of Fellows' research and stimulate scholarly feedback, Kellogg supports the publishing of books and the Working Papers series. The Institute also helps to recruit faculty specializing in international studies and assists the Latin American bibliographer in the development of the research collection of the Hesburgh Library.
