Global Studies research

The Ozmen Institute for Global Studies is poised to develop and expand globally-oriented interdisciplinary research in all fields of academic studies. The Institute encourages collaborative research projects across the university, nationally and the world on issues of international security, sustainable development, geo-political and strategic studies, war and peace, democratization, press freedoms, public policy, community health and wellness, environmental studies, science and technology, as well as diversity, human rights, equity and social justice, including the rights of indigenous peoples, labor, women, racial and ethnic minorities and of sexual orientation. In short, the Institute will strive to become a hub for globally and internationally oriented research across disciplines and units with the expressed desire to provide research-based solutions to important societal problems to meet the challenges that we confront in our world in the twenty-first century.
