Institute for the Study of International Development

Development research and teaching has never been as strong at McGill as it is today. This is reflected in the creation in 2008 of the Institute for the Study of International Development, (ISID). ISID now generates impressive levels of original research, at the same time that it trains future generations of researchers, teachers, policymakers and development practitioners through some of the largest teaching programs in the Faculty of Arts.  2011 witnessed a further expansion of ISID through the launch of its Executive Education program in international development.

ISID’s impressive growth in many ways depends on the generous support of alumni and our community.
