Author’s name and short title
One of the central objectives at CFGS is to create a community of scholars and scholarship. The CFGS
hosts conferences, workshops, and speakers that promote critical citizenship in a complex and
rapidly changing global environment and respond to defining events as they unfold. These
events bridge the divide between academia and the community, as well as inform policy,
decision makers, and citizens on important issues.

Projects & Programs

We collaborate on projects across faculties and departments at UVic, as well as with communities,
practitioners, partners, and universities around the globe. These projects bring together diverse
groups of people to communicate our research through events, publications, and collaborative
networks. We make our boundary-pushing research accessible to policy makers, researchers,
and the wider community.

RESEARCH FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE WORLD

Fellowship Program

The Centre awards fellowships to graduate students, international scholars and faculty researchers
with an overarching aim to build a sophisticated and transdisciplinary network. These fellowships
provide office space, a stipend for students & visiting scholars, and a course administrative release
for faculty ranging from several weeks to a year.
“CFGS is a home and, more importantly, an exceptional community of researchers,
scholars, and fabulous peers who are occupied with tackling some of the most
vexing issues across the globe and contributing to transformative change”

ANITA GIRVAN, FORMER GRADUATE STUDENT FELLOW

CFGS offers fellowship opprotunities for UVIC graduate students, UVic faculty, visiting
researchers, and visiting graduate students. More info at www.globalcentres.org.
