Chicago Center on Democracy Graduate Student Affiliates

The Chicago Center on Democracy's Graduate Student Affiliates network is an interdisciplinary group of graduate students at the Masters and PhD levels at the University of Chicago who share research interests in topics related to democracy. The Center convenes gatherings of the group roughly once per quarter, providing members the chance to discuss and refine ideas on relevant topics. In addition to networking and intellectual community opportunities, the Center provides modest financial support for Graduate Student Affiliates who wish to organize lectures or other events related to democracy. This program creates a collaborative environment for graduate students across disciplines to engage with democratic theory, practice, and research. The affiliation offers both community building and funding for democracy-related scholarly activities and events.
