Faculty Book Workshops

Book workshops allow faculty to receive feedback on a draft manuscript that addresses important global challenges. These workshops are generally structured as single-day events hosted at the Mortara Center. Georgetown faculty working on related subjects and local DC-area participants are encouraged to attend these small group gatherings to assist their colleagues.
