GLD Fellows 2025
The GLD Fellowship Program is designed for academics and practitioners to engage in research on local factors driving governance and development. The GLD Fellowship Program is a one-year, non-residential fellowship designed to expand networks, encourage research collaboration, and engage with scholars from all around the world.
GLD Fellows attends the GLD Annual Conference and engage in GLD seminars and workshops. They have the opportunity to produce a GLD working paper, policy brief, or executive summary. Fellows receive assistance with research, data-related questions, and dissemination of their work.
GLD features each Fellow in a monthly interview series. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive the latest interview, or browse previous Fellow interviews here!
