Centre for Global Studies

Gordon S. Smith, BA (McGill), PhD (MIT), Director

The Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) is engaged in research and public awareness that promotes informed policy responses to the challenges of global governance, security and sustainability. CFGS is a unique “centre of centres,” creating a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment. Currently there are four core focus areas:

  • Division of Globalization and Governance
  • International Institute for Child Rights and Development
  • Division of Technology and International Development
  • International Women’s Rights Project (IWRP)

The Centre is strongly committed to public awareness and outreach to the academic, policy and public communities, allowing CFGS members to share their collective knowledge and promote debate on important issues and events.

The breadth of the Centre’s activities provides employment and volunteer opportunities for several students and interns each year.

CFGS was established in 1998 through the generosity of local community donors. The Centre continues by enhancing its already extensive network of international research and funding partners, with whom it collaborates on a project-to-project basis.
