USC Dornsife and the Berggruen Institute Extend Fellowship Collaboration, Renew Partnership Through 2024-2025
The Berggruen Institute and USC Dornsife are pleased to announce the renewal of the USC Berggruen Fellowship Program through the academic year 2024-25. The program is co-hosted by the Center on Science, Technology, and Public Life at USC, led by Andrew Lakoff (Director) and Emily R. Anderson (Associate Director). At the Berggruen Institute, the program is led by Vice President of Programs Nils Gilman and Director of Fellowships Jennifer Bourne.
Since its inception in 2019, the program has sponsored over twenty-one fellows in fields ranging from philosophy to history, sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science, as well as non-academic thinkers in journalism and the arts. Fellows spend a year of flexible work and study within one of the Berggruen Institute’s four program areas on the “great transformations” of the 21st century: the Future of Capitalism, the Future of Democracy, Future Humans, and the Planetary.
Based on Los Angeles, Fellows split time between the Berggruen Institute’s headquarters and USC’s campus. In addition to their individual projects, Fellows engage in collaborative activities including topic-focused Fellowship working groups, public lectures to USC departments and research centers, and meetings with faculty and graduate students.
