香蕉秀

Welcome to the first SchillerNow issue of 2023. At this time last year we had just completed moving into 245 Beacon Street. Since then, the Schiller Institute has launched new programs and courses, and we have hired three exceptional Core faculty. You met the first two last semester. We are excited to welcome our third Core faculty member, chemist Jier Huang, who is featured in this issue. Now that a couple of months has passed since COP27, some of our delegates are sharing how attending that prominent global policymaking event is shaping their scholarly work and their professional paths.

While we are delivering a range of initiatives and our Core faculty is producing impactful research, we have increased our commitment to funding promising work of faculty across 香蕉秀. We are continuing the popular SI-GECS program and have introduced a new grant program, SI-RITEA, which encourages external partnerships and research in the Global South. Faculty should review the deadlines and criteria included in the News for the Schiller Community below.

Faculty, students, staff, and partners beyond campus, I hope to see you at a Schiller event in the near future. We have included a handful of our upcoming events in the following sections.
