campus about global energy supply and demand, alternative energy sources, and the geopolitical consequences of the world’s quest for energy sources. Research trips have been conducted in Belgium, California, Colorado, and Germany. • ALLIES (Alliance Linking Leaders in Education and the Services) (2006-) The objective of ALLIES is to expand and integrate the ongoing relationship between the Institute for Global Leadership and the military’s educational institutions. ALLIES fosters dialogue, encourages joint research opportunities, creates activities that bring together students at private liberal universities and future military officers, and educates about the role of the U.S. military at home and abroad. Tufts students and USMA cadets recently conducted a joint research trip in Jordan. • Synaptic Scholars (2006-) The Synaptic Scholars program is designed to encourage and enable students interested in creative, intellectual exploration to realize their potential in intensive, interdisciplinary settings. The program creates a framework in which intellectual juxtapositions, critical thinking and self-directed explorations are fully realized. Synaptic Scholars is a leadership program, meant to provide a forum for students to take risks, pursue passions, and challenge assumptions in an intimate, supportive and collaborative environment. It is designed to cultivate a strong sense of accountability and responsibility, while encouraging scholars to enrich the University’s intellectual life and programming. • Robert and JoAnn Bendetson Public Policy Initiative (2006-) The Bendetson Public Diplomacy Initiative is an effort to bring key global policymakers and officials to Tufts to share their experiences and perspectives with students. It also brings these policymakers and officials together to discuss their shared experiences, such as the program on “Iraq: Moving Forward” in 2007, which explored next steps in Iraq with participants from Iraq, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and Guatemala. • National Security and Civil Liberties Program (2006-) This program is an opportunity for students to experience and understand the fundamental relationship between civil rights and national security concerns. Closely allied with ALLIES, it brings together students from the Tufts campus and from the US military academies to address controversial issues such as Guantanamo, warrantless wiretaps, and the extent of Executive Privilege. This program collaborates with the Law Library of the Library of Congress and the Washington Law School of American University. It is cosponsored by the Experimental College and Debate Club at Tufts. • Project on Justice in Times of Transition (2006-) The Project on Justice in Times of Transition brings together individuals from a broad spectrum of countries to share experiences in ending conflict, building civil society and fostering peaceful coexistence. It currently operates in affiliation with the Foundation for a Civil Society in New York and the Institute for Global Leadership. In recent years the Project has conducted programs that have helped practitioners and political leaders strategize solutions in a variety of countries and regions, including Afghanistan, Colombia, East Timor, Guatemala, Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Palestine and Peru. • Tufts Chapter of Physicians for Human Rights (2006-) The Tufts Chapter of Physicians for Human Rights is the first chapter to be hosted at a college and organized by undergraduate and graduate students, rather than a medical school. The chapter’s inaugural event was a full day of programming on the readiness and response to infectious diseases and avian flu. • The Global Public Health and Humanitarian Policy Program (2007-) The core of this initiative is the International Interdisciplinary Resilience Research and Policy/Practice (IRP) directed by Astier M. Almedom, a Fellow of the Institute and Professor of Practice in Humanitarian Policy and Global Public Health at The Fletcher School. Under her direction the Institute will undertake and promote applied interdisciplinary research in public health, pertaining to both emergency humanitarian assistance and long-term development policy, and will work closely with such organizations initiated by the IGL as the Tufts Chapter of Physicians for Human Rights. 8 Institute for Global Leadership, Tufts University
• EMPOWER (2007-) The IGL’s newest initiative focuses on social entrepreneurship and poverty alleviation. Bringing together a global network of non-governmental organizations, such as ACCION to Schwab, EMPOWER can offer students opportunities for research and internships across the world. Intended to be a multidisciplinary initiative, topics can range from microfinance to education to water sanitation. Institute for Global Leadership, Tufts University 9
