Global Dialogues

How do we move forward in a divided world?

Since its launch in April 2024, the Georgetown Global Dialogues (GGD) have brought leading intellectuals from the Global South into conversation with Georgetown faculty and students around this central question.

The GGD Student Fellows Program engages Georgetown University undergraduates in the Georgetown Global Dialogues and related programming. Through conversation, writing, and reflection, student fellows explore the ethical and policy dimensions of global challenges while contributing their perspectives to a broader culture of encounter.

The program brings together students from Georgetown’s campuses in Washington, DC, and Qatar. Student fellows participate in GGD convenings, engage with invited speakers and Georgetown faculty, and share their ideas through written work and public dialogue.

The Georgetown Global Dialogues have convened in Washington, DC; Rome; and Barcelona (2025, 2026), and will next convene in Yogyakarta. The work pursues four interrelated goals:

• Learning from the Global South
• Advancing a global vision of human equality
• Elevating youth perspectives on global challenges
• Building a culture of encounter

The GGD Student Fellows Program serves as the replacement for the Doyle Global Dialogue (DGD) program through the fall 2026 semester. Students interested in Doyle Global Dialogue are encouraged to participate in the Georgetown Global Dialogues, which provide valuable opportunities for global exchange, dialogue, and personal reflection. For current updates and additional details, please visit the main DGD webpage.
