The
Center for International Social Development at The Catholic University
of America is an interdisciplinary program of research, teaching,
service, and public education on the problems and prospects of
international development. Drawing on twenty-one faculty from six
of the schools of the university, the center aims to promote international
development in the interests of peace and justice, with respect
for the totality of the human person, through periodic public events
and workshops, a graduate certificate program, and collaborative
research. A certificate program will offer graduate students at
the university and, eventually, professionals in the field to gain
a broad understanding of development issues.
A
distinctive feature of the department reflects its foundation in
the 1930s to support training for missionaries, arguably the original
international aid and development workers. Today, it provides advanced
research training in anthropology proper to an unusually international
group of students, some of whom are priests, from Latin America,
Africa, Melanesia, and Asia.
Centers,
Institutes, Schools and Museums with Anthropology Faculty that
Emphasize Public Outreach
The
Institute is dedicated to social science solutions to national
problems and the needs of the Catholic community. Founded in 1974,
it was renamed in 1988 the Life Cycle Institute in anticipation
of research on childhood, adolescence, and aging. Since then the
research agenda has broadened, and now the Institute carries out
many studies on problems of families, schools, churches, and communities.
