Munk Centre for International Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Munk Centre for International Studies, part of the University of Trinity College, a federated college of the University of Toronto, is devoted to the study of numerous issues of international significance. It is named after Peter Munk, a Canadian philanthropist and businessman, who made a $6.4 million donation to the University of Toronto to finance the centre's construction.
It now includes a number of institutes and centres from the university, including the Centre for International Studies, the International Relations Programme, and the Centre for the Study of the United States. It is one of the founders of the OpenNet Initiative.
The centre is located in the north and south wings of Devonshire House building on Hoskin Avenue. The refurbished Devonshire House is shared with Trinity College's John W. Graham Library. The academic programmes offered through the Munk Centre are closely associated with Trinity College.
The current Director is Janice Stein, a well-regarded intellectual of international studies, especially Middle Eastern affairs.
