Pete Buttigieg to teach about trust in politics and other fields during Notre Dame fellowship

The University of Notre Dame has hired former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg as a researcher and teacher for the 2020-2021 academic year, the university announced Thursday.

As a faculty fellow in the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study, Buttigieg will work on two research projects: one that explores how to restore trust in political institutions and another that considers the forces shaping the 2020s.

He joins a group of more than 30 faculty and student fellows who will conduct research on the nature of trust, the institute’s 2020-2021 research theme.

Buttigieg will take part in weekly seminars and other academic programs.

He also will teach an undergraduate course on the importance of trust in different fields, the university said. The seminar draws on literature, politics, economics and philosophy, with guest experts participating.

All of the publicity on DU might prompt Notre Dame to rescind the fellowship.

He is such a smart (and good) man! I hope Biden finds a place for him in the new administration.

He will both teach and be taught in these endeavors.

He won't have a huge commute either.

Way to go, Pete!
