The University Seminar on Global Governance and Democracy, founded in 1997, is an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together faculty and graduate students from across the social sciences, especially from political science, public policy, economics, sociology, and law. Our shared interest in this seminar is to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of recent global economic and socio-political changes; we are especially interested in how globalization affects the distribution of wealth and well being, as well as governance among and within nations.
The seminar, co-chaired by Judith Kelley (Duke, Public Policy), and Layna Mosley (UNC, Political Science) is organized around a series of talks by domestic and international guest speakers whose work analyzes these issues from a social science perspective, broadly conceived.

We are pleased to invite the Duke and Triangle communities to join us for this series of public lectures.
