Global Politics Lab Applications
The Global Politics Lab is opening applications for its 2021-22 GPL Fellowships. The fellowship is created to give high-quality, intensive, networked mentoring to students interested in high-level engagement in scholarly literature, analysis, and writing.  Fellows will enroll in one credit of mentored research for the length of the fellowship (fall and winter with an optional spring term) and receive a small scholarship for the year. Fellows will be working on academic projects under faculty supervision. Fellows will be required to make substantial progress on a publishable paper and to present their work at appropriate conferences. If agreeable to both faculty and student, the student may work additional hours on GPL projects for pay or credit. Hours put in by fellows may exceed the explicit credit or payments received. Fellowships represent an opportunity for intellectual growth exceeding strict compensation.

GCAS Seminar
Professor Michael Loadenthal, executive director of the Peace and Justice Studies Association, is offering a free 6-day seminar focused on the siege of the US Capitol. The course will focus on collectively building conceptual models to understand the networks of actors involved and to develop ideological, affiliation, and network maps to unpack what went down on January 6, how we got to this historical position, and what it means going forward. 
 
The deadline to register is April 2, and there is limited enrollment. All class sessions will be 7-9pm ET, April 6-11, 2021.
