Responsible Public Engagement
At the broadest level, our ongoing work on Responsible Public Engagement, including our Ethics of Engagement website and collaborative trainings, aims to generate self-reflection and conversation related to the ethics of public engagement.
Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative
Our Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative (IGLI) initiates research, education, and programming aimed at elevating and amplifying the work that women-identified activists are doing at the grassroots to promote peace, justice, and human rights around the world. IGLI embraces a commitment to nonviolence and feminist principles of leadership.
Cultural Diplomacy
Our Cultural Diplomacy Initiative trains students to engage in creative approaches to addressing the great issues of our time and invites the broader Denver community to learn about how the arts can facilitate connections across the boundaries of nation, language, religion, and culture in vitally important ways.
Navigating the Future of Governance
Our Navigating the Future of Governance initiative is designed to examine governance experiments growing out of our current crises and their relationship to democratic practices. It supports numerous faculty initiatives and seeks to foster a community examining how governance experiments foster or inhibit democracy writ large.
