RESEARCH, LEARNING, TRAINING
The Institute creates a collaborative environment to think off the beaten path, beyond formal research and methodological approaches.
Through our actions, the Institute envisions a rejuvenated public diplomacy community, galvanised in pursuit of a more ambitious and enthusiastic engagement in the course of global affairs.
The Institute seeks to bring together scientific community, civil society, policymakers, NGOs, private sector, and researchers investigating topics related to public diplomacy and intercultural communication that influences international relations.
It seeks to gather all perspectives, methods, and approaches, including critical approaches, to encourage dialogue and debate on these important interdisciplinary topics.
Further critical questions abound:
-
Who researches and who teaches public diplomacy?
-
Who are the researched?
-
Who do we do our public diplomacy work for, and with?
-
Which facts are foundational to our disciplinary identities?
-
Where are the centres of power in public diplomacy discipline, and what are we doing to shift them?
Submissions are welcomed which take up the challenges expressed in these questions, and of any other topic relevant to public diplomacy.
