A Message from the Director
Welcome to the website of the Mortara Center for International Studies, part of the School of Foreign Service on the campus of Georgetown University. The Center was created in 2003 based on a generous grant from the late Michael Mortara (SFS '71) and the Mortara Family. It adds a major focal point of intellectual debate and discussion on international issues by prominent scholars and practitioners for all of the University and will in the future also become the site of research on salient international issues.
The Mortara Center has sponsored many interesting events over the past six years and will continue to do so in the future. Those events will be announced on this website and in many cases, podcasts of them will be posted for you to enjoy.
I hope you will find the Mortara Center a rich source of learning and reflection.
John McNeill
Interim Director, Mortara Center for International Studies
