Fellows Program

The Georgetown Americas Institute visiting fellows program is an opportunity for respected academics and leaders to enrich campus dialogue and scholarship by connecting with faculty, students, and the greater Washington community to learn from one another on key hemispheric issues, such as governance and the rule of law, economic growth and innovation, social and cultural inclusion, and sustainability and the environment. Questions may be directed to americas@georgetown.edu.

Visiting Fellows Program

GAI will invite leading scholars from the Western Hemisphere to teach, lecture, organize event series, and share their research at Georgetown for three to twelve months. During their stay, fellows will interact with faculty, students, and outside guests through public events and private meetings.

Resident Fellows Program

GAI will invite leading scholars from the Western Hemisphere to participate in public events and private meetings and produce academic research related to the institute's priorities.

Non-resident Fellows Program

GAI will invite leading experts to join a distinguished network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who bring diverse expertise and regional perspectives to the institute's work. Non-Resident Fellow appointments are typically for one-year renewable term.
