Research
The central mission of the Center for International Studies is supporting the international research of a talented and growing cadre of international studies faculty. What began as a corps of two research fellows has grown to 25 today, establishing the Center's unique role as the only research-oriented international studies center in the state of Missouri. The books and articles published by Center fellows reflect an impressive productivity and multidisciplinary diversity. In addition to faculty fellows, the Center also supports over 30 research associates with travel funds and grant assistance.Endowed Professorships
