Christopher Koliba will lead a new research center housed at the Institute for Policy & Social Research to advance understanding of democratic governance.
“We launch the CDG at a critical time in our nation’s history,” Koliba said. “During the recent presidential election both sides claimed that democracy was on the ballot. We’re looking to have the CDG be a space for critical reflection, rigorous scholarship and intentional outreach regarding the threats democratic institutions are facing. We intend to do so by engaging people from across disciplines in an effort to center democracy right here in the heartland.”
The Center for Democratic Governance serves as a catalyst for the elevation of democratic governance studies, research and modeling to advance theory creation, normative examination, empirical analysis, governance design, advocacy and education particularly in regard to the environmental, technical and social threats facing liberal democracies.

2025/2026 David M. Bergeron & Geraldo Sousa Exhibit Program
Deadline: January 7, 2025
KU faculty are invited to submit proposals for their work to be presented as a Spencer Research Library exhibition, curated in collaboration with library colleagues. The exhibit will be installed in the Spencer Library gallery during the early spring of 2026. The selected faculty member will be awarded a stipend of $5,000.
NEA: Translation Project Fellowships
Deadline: January 16, 2025
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) supports projects for the translation of specific works of prose, poetry, or drama from other languages into English. The work to be translated should be of interest for its literary excellence and merit. We encourage translation projects that feature languages, perspectives, and writers that are not well represented in English, as well as work that has not previously been translated into English.
