Faculty Research A review of faculty research enabled by Young Initiative support during the 2019-20 academic year.
Phillip Ayoub The Young Initiative supported Associate Professor Phillip Ayoub’s teaching, research, and professional activities in 2019-20 in a number of ways, including funding the research support of two student assistants to assist with several ongoing research projects on LGBT rights in Europe and the United States, as well as a pedagogical piece on research design. It also partially supported Ayoub’s participation and research talks at the University of Amsterdam and Humboldt University, as well as work editing a special issue on gender policy during the Angela Merkel era. Unfortunately, five other talks and conferences were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to research activities, the Young Initiative provided funds for guest speakers and course materials relevant to the teaching of Ayoub’s courses on international relations, LGBTQIA+ rights, global social movements, and comparative European politics.
