Program on Global Society and Security (PGSS)

The Program on Global Society and Security (PGSS) is intended to support the study of human security, broadly construed, at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. The central purposes of PGSS are to support basic, policy-relevant research on topics related to the security challenges facing the United States and other nations globally and to prepare scholars for positions in colleges, universities, research institutes, and government. The program awards pre-doctoral fellowships, funds the research of individual scholars, supports related teaching at Harvard University, undertakes research projects on critical topics, and publishes working papers.

Erez Manela, Professor of History, is the program's director. Its offices are located at 1727 Cambridge Street.
