Meet the Director

After a decade of leadership by BC Law Professor Vlad Perju, the Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy has a new director.


The Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy aims to reinvigorate and reimagine the study of constitutional democracy in the twenty-first century. By taking a holistic, global, and interdisciplinary approach to democratic systems, we seek to foster original research and thoughtful reflection on how democracy is lived in the United States and around the world. The Clough Center offers unparalleled learning opportunities to students at Boston College and a vibrant intellectual environment for the entire academic community.
