Perry World House

Perry World House (PWH) at the University of Pennsylvania is a global research center dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary, policy relevant approaches on the world’s most urgent global affairs challenges. At a time of increasing ideological division and the politicization of policymaking, PWH will draw on the wide-ranging expertise across Penn’s 12 Schools, connecting Penn with policymakers, practitioners, and researchers from around the world to develop and promote innovative policy proposals. Our inaugural research themes include Global Shifts: Urbanization, Migration, and Demography; and The Future of the Global Order: Power, Technology, and Governance. Housed at the new, state-of-the-art building at the center of Penn's campus, PWH is uniquely positioned to convene world leaders, cutting-edge practitioners, academics, and though leaders engaged on these vital global topics.
