Mortara ASAP
As part of the Mortara Center’s mission as a hub for research focusing on theory and practice in international affairs, Mortara ASAP: Analyzing Security and Prosperity supports research on security and prosperity, broadly defined, from any field, region, or thematic area represented in the School of Foreign Service.
Lepgold Book Prize
The Georgetown University Lepgold Book Prize honors Joseph S. Lepgold, a Georgetown University Government and School of Foreign Service professor who died in a tragic hotel fire in Paris in December 2001. The prize honors exceptional contributions to the study of international relations, with particular emphasis on the resolution of critical policy challenges, published each calendar year.
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.
Book Talks
In support of the last phase of the research cycle and the fostering of communities of research, the Mortara Center sponsors multiple book talks each semester.
Good Authority
Good Authority is a blog with a mission to connect political scientists and the political conversation by creating a compelling forum, developing publicly focused scholars, and building an informed audience.
Lab for Globalization and Shared Prosperity
The Lab for Globalization and Shared Prosperity, led by Professor Nita Rudra, is committed to research focused on integrating more individuals into the global economy in a productive way to mitigate negative trends such as individual discontent with the status quo, political polarization, and social fragmentation.
Visiting Researchers program
The Mortara Center for International Studies offers qualified candidates the opportunity to become Visiting Mortara Researchers for a period of one semester or one year, with the option to renew for up to three years.
