Introduction

The Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC) invites proposals addressing youth displacement, underemployment, and social enterprise—anchored in the legacy of Atlanta’s civil rights movement and its relevance to global and local communities. This initiative seeks to foster collaborative research, and professional development to create global and local partnerships with the potential to transform the lives of young people throughout the world and societies at large. The core objective of this initiative is to examine themes of displacement and forced migration of youth throughout the world, particularly those who are from socially excluded or economically vulnerable populations who are seeking employment opportunities away from home, or fleeing conflict, violence, or environmental causes. This initiative aims to explore innovative solutions, including policies that provide systemic change through education, job creation, wellness, and social enterprise, and social stability.
