About Us

Regional Development Studies Institute (RDSI) is a Non-Profit Organization in Albany, New York.

Regional Development Studies Institute is founded in 2019 as an interdisciplinary teaching and research institute that offers community-based education in multiple academic fields. We work with national and international cultural organizations, civil society, businesses, and community spaces to offer a full curriculum of affordable seminars, conferences in subjects that range from philosophy to medicine. Our faculty are scholars-pedagogues with a broad array of expertise acquired through their doctoral work, academic and popular writing, industry experience, as well as in the classroom itself. As a labor-forward organization, 75% of all tuition fees go to supporting RDSI faculty in their teaching and research endeavours.
