International Studies and Programs Fellows and Research Associates

Faculty Fellows and Research Associates

The central mission of International Studies and Programs is supporting the international research of a talented and growing cadre of international studies faculty.

Each year International Studies and Programs appoints Fellows from among regular UM-St. Louis faculty and provides funds to support their research projects. What began as a corps of two research fellows has grown to 41 today, establishing International Studies and Programs’s unique role as the only research-oriented international studies center in the state of Missouri. The books and articles published by International Studies and Programs fellows reflect an impressive productivity and multidisciplinary diversity. In addition to faculty Fellows, International Studies and Programs also supports research associates with travel funds and grant assistance.
