About

The Pardee Atlas Research Conference is a student-run research conference on global affairs hosted by The Pardee Atlas Journal of Global Affairs. It provides an opportunity for the next generation of leaders to come together and share their ongoing research with a community of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. 

Our primary purpose of the Pardee Atlas Research Conference is to provide a venue and platform for students to gain valuable experience presenting at a conference, receive constructive feedback on their original academic work, and form connections with peers from interdisciplinary backgrounds. All graduate students, both Masters and Doctoral candidates, can submit their completed research, works in progress, or non-empirical work such as literature reviews, theory papers, and policy papers. 

The 2025 conference will be held on April 25, 2025, at Boston University Pardee School of Global Studies, 121 Bay State Road, Boston, MA. This year’s theme is “Exploring Global Intersections: Collaboration Across Cultures, Fields, and Frontiers.”
