Project Title
For Senior Fellow Fabrice Jaumont to take part in two philanthropic conferences
Date
Mar. 08, 2018
Duration
15 months
Description
Philanthropy has always been integral to higher education in the United States, and it is increasingly important to higher education abroad. Fabrice Jaumont, a Senior Fellow at the Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme, has dedicated much of his scholarly career to researching philanthropy’s impact on higher education in Africa, having recently published the book Unequal Partners: American Foundations and Higher Education Development in Africa. With Corporation support, Dr. Jaumont will travel to two conferences–one hosted by the Comparative and International Education Society in Mexico City in March, the other by the China Global Philanthropy Institute in Beijing in October–to present his research and work. In doing so, he will aim to facilitate greater understanding and collaboration between foundations, policymakers, and academics at the nexus of philanthropy and higher education.

Project Title
For The International Panel on Exiting violence (IPEV)
Date
Jun. 09, 2016
Duration
30 months
Description
In a context of expanding conflict in the Euro-Mediterranean region, the leading social science council of France will form an International Panel on Exiting Violence (IPEV), uniting 200 outstanding thinkers on political violence from different regions to produce policy options for the process of de-escalating social conflict and violent transnational movements. The IPEV will be comprised of working groups examining entry points to violence and the process of exiting violence. It will adopt a comparative perspective, communicating lessons learned from the recent history of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas concerning the drivers of violence, alternatives to violence, and effective ways to find an exit from conflict. The failure of authoritarian states in the Arab region will be considered as a major topic to be analyzed in the light of situations found elsewhere.
