The Fellows
GGD Fellows are leading intellectuals, hailing mainly from the Global South, whose work—including literature, essays, and scholarship—illuminates pressing global challenges. The fellows first convened in Washington, DC, in April 2024 for conversations with U.S.-based thinkers and will be gathering again in Rome (June 2025) and Barcelona (November 2025) for the next phase of the Georgetown Global Dialogues.
