Innovate Educate Impact
Drawing from lived experiences in rural Kenya, Caleb Ndaka analyzed experiences of teachers to understand challenges and opportunities of achieving equitable and inclusive digital learning in low-income settings.
In commemoration of Earth Day, we're highlighting a recent gathering featuring the Keough School's Ellis Adjei Adams and Tracy Kijewski-Correa and Biological Science's Jason Rohr discussing the pressing necessity of adapting to global warming. They highlight why fighting climate change is so urgent and why it’s important to create resilient, forward-looking infrastructure that anticipates future challenges rather than relying on outdated models.
The Earth’s environment and scarce resources must be stewarded with ever-increasing care as the health of the environment is integrally linked to a flourishing global society. At the Pulte Institute, we collaborate with faculty conducting research on climate, energy, water, and sustainable cities and examine how these issues affect global poverty and inequality.
Billions of dollars are spent annually to address the 65+ million refugees and migrants displaced by conflict, natural disaster, or severe lack of economic opportunity. At the Pulte Institute, we work to integrate sustainable development practices into humanitarianism work and policy in order for crisis interventions to be successful and sustainable.
Good governance and effective states are integral to the realization of the SDGs. At the Pulte Institute, we focus on aid effectiveness and policy in the poorest of nations by researching existing programs, evaluating donor agency innovations, and designing new approaches and policies to deliver more effective aid; all in order to ensure states and their policies work for the people.
The private sector is increasingly outspending the public sector in global development investment, but is also faced with challenging ethical dilemmas in nations with weak institutions and corruption. At the Pulte Institute, we provide a home for discussions on ethical and sustainable supply chain performance, social entrepreneurship, and public-private partnerships, among other topics.
In a globalized world, disease moves quickly across borders and many global and national public health systems are weak and inadequate. At the Pulte Institute, we seek to take the knowledge developed by Notre Dame researchers to field practitioners, who are on the front lines in developing countries and can put these findings to work.
