The Gloria L. and Charles I. Clough Center for the Study of Constitutional Democracy at Boston College is dedicated to interdisciplinary reflection on the promise and problems of constitutional government in the United States and throughout the world.

The center sponsors scholarly lectures, conferences, and colloquia; provides financial support for faculty, graduate and undergraduate research; offers internship and junior fellowship programs for Boston College undergraduates; and hosts the Boston Area Public Law Workshop, which brings together a community of scholars from colleges and universities around the Boston area to discuss important works-in-progress dealing with questions of constitutional government. Through these and other initiatives, the Clough Center will serve as a hub for reflection upon some of the most significant questions concerning self-government under the rule of law.
