2012-2013 The Woodrow Wilson International Center Flagship Fellowship Program, USA
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars aims to unite the world of ideas to the world of policy by supporting pre-eminent scholarship and linking that scholarship to issues of concern to officials in Washington.
Congress established the Center in 1968 as the official, national memorial to President Wilson. Unlike the physical monuments in the nation's capital, it is a living memorial whose work and scholarship commemorates "the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson." As both a distinguished scholar and national leader, President Wilson felt strongly that the scholar and the policymaker were "engaged in a common enterprise." Today the Center takes seriously his views on the need to bridge the gap between the world of ideas and the world of policy, bringing them into creative contact, enriching the work of both, and enabling each to learn from the other. This continuing dialogue between public affairs and scholarship makes the Center unique.The National Conversation Series at the Woodrow Wilson Center is the Center’s newest initiative. The National Conversation Series will examine overarching themes of U.S. international and domestic policy, drawing on high-profile guests and experts from all sides of the political sphere to provide thoughtful, intelligent explorations of challenging issues with the goal of informing the national public policy debate. The series will provide a safe political space for deep dialogue and informed discussion of the most significant problems and challenges facing the nation and the world. Nonpartisan and civil, The National Conversation Series will provide the level of discourse the nation deserves through thoughtful and challenging explorations of vital issues.
The Center’s 2012-2013 flagship Fellowship Program will emphasize the keystones of the National Conversation Series.
In addition to its residential program, the Center conducts conferences and seminars and disseminates the content of these meetings and of fellows’ research through The Wilson Quarterly, Centerpoint (the Center’s monthly newsletter), Dialogue (The Center’s radio and television program), and the Woodrow Wilson Center Press, which has copublishing arrangements with Cambridge University Press, the Johns Hopkins University Press, and the Stanford University Press. The Center invites Fellows to take part in the Center’s conferences, meetings and seminars and to benefit from the wide range of dialogue that takes place at the Center.
