Working Groups

CICS sponsors several interdisciplinary working groups to address international and comparative research issues that are not confined to a single department, discipline, or school. Working groups enable the Northwestern scholarly community to come together on a regular basis to reflect and work together on important problems of common interest. Individual groups take different approaches and pursue different goals, such as, lecture series inviting leading scholars; discussion of empirical and theoretical works of scholarship; pursing a collaborative, interdisciplinary research projects; producing working paper series; commentary and analysis of working group members work in progress; focused exploration of a region of the world or a set of international issues.

If you are interested in participating in one of the groups listed, please contact the working group coordinator to see whether the group is open to additional members.
