A Johns Hopkins postdoc, Herbert Baxter Adams, brought the seminar method of teaching from Germany, where he earned a PhD in 1876. The idea: That students would learn more by doing than by listening to lectures and taking exams.

The Best IR Schools in the World :

The Best International Relations Schools in the World

Foreign Policy magazine, in collaboration with the Teaching, Research, and International Policy ( TRIP ) project at the College of William & Mary, is pleased to present the results of the 2018 Ivory Tower survey. The survey provides a snapshot of how top international relations scholars assess their discipline at a moment when the liberal international order — overseen by a U.S. president with little evident attachment to it — is in unprecedented flux.

Responses from 1,541 IR scholars at U.S. colleges and universities determined rankings for their field’s leading Ph.D., terminal master’s, and undergraduate programs. The scholars were asked to list the top five institutions in each category, and the percentages below reflect the portion of respondents who listed that school.

The survey is accompanied by two essays that address whether IR is in a state of existential crisis. Can IR help policymakers respond to President Donald Trump and other global challenges that they failed to predict? Francis Gavin, the director of the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, argues that the field of IR’s greatest strength is its adaptability and that other university departments would be wise to take their cues from schools of international affairs. Stephen Walt, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and columnist for FP , suggests that IR scholars have more work to do to get their own house in order before advising diplomats on how to do the same.

Direct Matriculation Program: Master’s in International Relations (MAIR)

Today’s world is more intertwined than ever before, with a growing necessity for strong international relations.

The Direct Matriculation Program: Master’s in International Relations (MAIR) allows qualified students with a strong interest in international studies to pursue a combined bachelor’s/master’s degree from our Krieger School of Arts & Sciences (our undergraduate school) and the prestigious Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) (our graduate school) with campuses in Washington, DC; Bologna, Italy; and Nanjing, China.  Students who are admitted to the Direct Matriculation Program (DMP) are guaranteed admission into a two-year master’s degree from SAIS if they maintain the required academic standards and complete the necessary undergraduate courses. After three years of undergraduate study on the Homewood campus, students may decide to spend the following two years at SAIS in Washington, DC or attend one of their international campuses for the first year followed by two to three semesters at the DC campus.

This is a five-year consecutive degree program. Once matriculated at Hopkins, admitted DMP students cannot defer their enrollment at SAIS or take a gap year.

Assistant Professor

"Woman, Life, Freedom”: Iran’s Protests Are a Rebellion for Bodily Autonomy

Mahsa Amini’s death while in the custody of Iran’s “morality police” is spilling forth the language and tactics of a feminist revolution with reverberations in movements like #MeToo and the fight for abortion rights, writes Professor Bajoghli for Vanity Fair.

From a BA to an MA at Hopkins

As an undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University, Austin had heard a lot about SAIS in his international relations courses and from other students who were also planning on attending the school.

All first-year applicants, regardless of intended major, are welcome to apply to the DMP: Master’s in International Relations (MAIR).

After submitting your admissions application, you will see a separate essay requirement appear in your applicant portal. You must submit an essay in response to the prompt below.

Johns Hopkins announces funding for 40 Washington, D.C.-based events, projects

The nexus awards program supports a diverse range of programming, research, and teaching at the university's new hopkins bloomberg center at 555 pennsylvania ave..

By Hub staff report

Forty convening, research, and teaching endeavors based at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C., have been selected to receive funding from the university's Nexus Awards Program over the next year.

The projects span every academic division of the university and include nearly 150 scholars exploring a diversity of topics, from climate resilience and population displacement to generative AI and enhanced learning to mental health and health equity.

This is the second round of funding distributed via the Nexus Awards, a $15 million program designed to support research, teaching, and event programming at the new Hopkins Bloomberg Center, which officially opened in the fall of 2023. Funding for award recipients begins July 1.

"Since last fall, our first class of Nexus winners and their bold ideas have animated our new home in Washington," JHU President Ron Daniels said. "With this second cohort of Nexus Award winners, we are building on the momentum underway at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center, as faculty from across Johns Hopkins convene policymakers and the public, embark on innovative research, and inspire our students to engage society's greatest challenges."

Nexus Awards are available in three categories:

Convening: Convening teams may request up to $100,000, with an award term of up to one year for the development and execution of an academic or policy-focused conference or a series of conferences on any topic. These may be one-time events or a series of related events.

Research: Research teams may request up to $300,000, with an award term of up to two years focusing on either a new area of collaborative work or an expansion of an ongoing area of collaborative work in fundamental, clinical, or applied research, or projects within the arts and humanities. Proposals may include an external, D.C.-based partner, and cross-disciplinary work is encouraged.

Teaching: Teaching applicants may request up to $25,000 (renewable for two years) for undergraduate or graduate courses or co-curricular opportunities. While single faculty members may apply, courses that span multiple departments, schools, or divisions are encouraged.

"Nexus Awards help propel the ideas, scholarship, and pedagogy of our faculty in exciting directions," Provost Ray Jayawardhana said. "I am eager to see their insights and discoveries brought to life at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center, fostering dialogue and enhancing impact in the heart of the nation's capital."

Over the past year, the Nexus Awards have supported a range of offerings at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center, including the university's inaugural international women's leadership summit , a series of events focused on science diplomacy , a series of Humanities on the Mall film screenings and conversations, and the exploration of a pro-democracy conservative agenda , among many others.

"The Nexus Awards support a dynamic pipeline between our communities in Baltimore and Washington," said Lainie Rutkow , executive vice provost. "It's wonderful to see how these awards have helped to integrate the Hopkins Bloomberg Center with the broader Johns Hopkins community."

The application period for a new round of funding will open later this year, with proposals due in late February.
