These are workshops, hosted by SPIA, for any and all faculty seeking to promote diverse authorship, ideas, and other content in course materials and in developing intentional approaches to inclusive pedagogy. SPIA partners with invited experts (e.g., from the UGA Office of Institutional Diversity) to work on inclusive pedagogical practices and discuss DEI in our areas of expertise.

SPIA’s Department of International Affairs, a leader in the area of human rights scholarship, offers multiple opportunities for students to engage directly in the research and on the analysis of human rights performance across geographical contexts.
