Pardee Center Establishes Affiliation with Pardee School of Global Studies

The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future is pleased to announce that it has established an affiliation with the Pardee School of Global Studies, becoming the School’s newest interdisciplinary research center.

“Now in its 20th year, the Pardee Center has become a truly international destination for public policy scholarship and interdisciplinary research,” University Provost Jean Morrison wrote in a memo to the Pardee Center and Pardee School communities. “The Pardee Center and the Pardee School have long been closely aligned in mission, focus, and research, and we believe this organizational adjustment will maximize key synergies and position the Center for even greater success in the future.”

“While the sadness of my colleague and friend Tony Janetos’ passing still overwhelms, I look forward to be working more closely with the Pardee Center once again, having spent a number of my own formative years helping build what I think is a gem of an institution at Boston University,” said Pardee School Dean Adil Najam, who was Director of the Pardee Center from 2007-2011. “Looking back at all the exciting and meaningful research and convening that the Center has contributed in its twenty years, the goal is to maintain and enhance that legacy of scholarship in the future.”

Dean Najam will be hosting a reception and conversation about this new affiliation for the Pardee Center and Pardee School communities in the near future.
