BUTTIGIEG TO JOIN NOTRE DAME FACULTY, RESEARCH
Pete Buttigieg, former Democratic presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend, was named Thursday as a faculty fellow at the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study.
“Buttigieg will work on two research projects at the NDIAS: one that explores how to restore trust in political institutions and another that considers the forces distinctively shaping the 2020s,” the release noted. He joins a group of more than 30 faculty and student fellows who will be conducting research on the nature of trust, the institute’s 2020-2021 research theme.
