The Center's Initiatives
· Hartford Research Seminar 2008-2010
The Center for Urban and Global Studies (CUGS) has launched a research seminar titled the “The Transformation of Hartford Through the Early 21st Century: Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives,” which will bring together Trinity and non-Trinity faculty with different research and teaching interests in Hartford, as well as some interested students and community representatives, to discuss the most critical questions and issues regarding change and continuity in Hartford from a local, regional, and global perspective. Please click here to see the Hartford Research Seminar page on this site for details.
· Faculty Symposium on (November 14-15, 2008)
The Center will organize a symposium titled “Globalization,
Transnationalism, and Cities” on November 14-15, 2008 that will create a
dialogue between globally-oriented faculty (globalists) and scholars on
American society (Americanists) at Trinity and other academic institutions on
the relationship between globalization, transnationalism, and cities with a
comparative reference to both Hartford and non-U.S. cities. A number of
scholars from Harvard, Yale, Brown, UConn, UMass, Dartmouth, Wesleyan
University, Vassar College, and Brooklyn College have accepted the invitation
to come to Trinity to present their work with some Trinity faculty.
· The Urban-Global Senior Research Prize (implemented in May 2008)
CUGS has established an Urban and a Global Senior Research Prize, which will be given annually to the best senior thesis or research project starting with the Class of '08. See the Student Grants and Opportunities page for details.
· The “Urban-Global Day” for Student Research Presentations (to be implemented for Spring 2009)
CUGS is also planning to introduce the annual “Urban-Global Day” for a group of students to present their research sponsored and supervised by faculty with other faculty serving as commentators. We will implement this program in Spring 2009.
Other initiatives and activities will be developed as the CUGS becomes more institutionalized and fully endowed.
