Research at Notre Dame: An act of hope and purpose @NotreDame

Uploaded August 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

At Notre Dame, research pursues discovery not as an end in itself, but as a means to serve humanity. From developing novel cancer therapies to exploring the ethics of artificial intelligence, our researchers ask bold questions and seek solutions with real-world impact, seeking the truth wherever it leads and serving others wherever they live. Interdisciplinary by nature and driven by moral conviction, our Catholic character inspires us to go beyond what is known, not just to discover, but to make a difference through research, scholarship, and creative endeavor. To fight for a future that’s brighter, fairer, and full of hope.

$Bringing Democracy Back from the Brink: A Strategic Vision and a Call to Action This Notre Dame Forum event is co-sponsored by the Office of the President and the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, part of the University’s Keough School of Global Affairs. Allens lecture is the 31st Annual Hesburgh Lecture in Ethics and Public Policy. Featuring: Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor, Harvard University; Director, Allen Lab for Democracy Renovation, Harvard Kennedy School Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation How do we repair our fractured democracy? Danielle Allen believes the path to health lies through re-building a supermajority of people—of all political ideologies—ready to work together to support constitutional democracy. In a time of increased polarization and weakening trust, it might seem impossible to create such a supermajority, but Allen will show us where and how we can build this supermajority, and why it is important.$
