The Ford Program in Human Development Studies and Solidarity is excited to host the 3rd annual CEIDS workshop on August 12-14 at the University of Notre Dame Campus.  This year’s workshop theme, “Holistic Measurements of Integral Human Development,” will feature a diverse and multidisciplinary team of scholars and practitioners presenting papers on understandings and approaches to Integral Human Development, particularly holistic measurements of the economic, social, cultural, psychological, and spiritual drivers of human flourishing. The conference will be available for in-person and virtual attendance via livestream on this webpage.
