Pitt Day of Giving is tomorrow. We explore how people come together to solve problems, drawing on a global network of scholars and policymakers to respond to crises and support partners facing violence and repression. How we work matters as much as what we study: civil discourse, value pluralism, and serious engagement across differences are at the core of everything we do. Please consider making a gift today to protect threatened scholars, provide students with hands-on research experience, and expand programs that model the principled debate our world needs more of.
