A program for Georgian Studies at Harvard’s Davis Center has recently been launched. The new program is being financed by the Georgian government through a $2.3 million grant, which will support research and scholarly exchange, teaching, and outreach. It will start in January 2022. What will this program bring to both Georgians and Americans? The Checkpoints interviewed the head of the program, Stephen F. Jones, a professor at Mount Holyoke College and Georgia’s Ilia State University.
