The Mershon Center is the institutional host at Ohio State for the Diplomacy Lab, a program offering real-life research opportunities for students in cooperation with US embassies and the Department of State.
Mershon's Quantum Social Science Bootcamp, funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, aims to address the lack of quantum expertise in social sciences by introducing students to the basics of quantum social science and fostering further independent study within an interdisciplinary scholarly community.
Congratulations to Mershon Faculty Affiliates Erin Lin and Lydia Walker on the publication of their new books. Lin's When the Bombs Stopped: The Legacy of War in Rural Cambodia (Princeton University Press) and Walker's States-in-Waiting, A Counternarrative of Global Decolonization(Cambridge University Press) will be available in May 2024.
The Program for the Study of Realist Foreign Policy explores three dimensions of politics, policy-making, and statecraft regarding U.S. national security issues. In the seventh iteration of the New Wave Realism conference, the primary aim is to help foster a community of young realist scholars who are exploring these new global and national developments by adopting, modifying, restating, and renewing realist theories and concepts.
The Mershon Center is proud to fund new graduate student projects in Anthropology, Geography, History, History of Art, Political Science, Social Work, and Sociology.
