Last fall, my Jackson school senior capstone group was assigned the task of drawing up recommendations for the next “Emerging Tech” session of the annual U.S.-Qatar Strategic Dialogue, organized by the U.S. State Department. To provide both actionable and insightful advice, my capstone team visited Doha to speak with private and public stakeholders. Our aim … Continue reading "How the U.S. and Qatar are Working Together on AI and Tech" The post How the U.S. and Qatar are Working Togethe...| Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs

If you saw four 20-something-year-old Yale students blasting Chappell Roan as they sped down I-95 in a car covered in college bumper stickers, you probably wouldn’t guess they were heading to a nuclear power plant. But there we were, casually en route to Millstone Power Station on a Thursday. Earlier that week, I had texted … Continue reading "Reactor Reactions: A Glimpse into Nuclear Power Plant Operations" The post Reactor Reactions: A Glimpse into Nuclear Power Plant Operations appeare...| Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs
In September, I took the train down to Washington, D.C., as part of Professor Ted Wittenstein’s AI, Emerging Tech, and National Powers class to attend the Special Competitive Studies Project’s AI + Energy Summit and visit assorted U.S. agencies and firms — all made possible by the Schmidt Program.

Last May, while researching Scandinavian immigration policy through Yale’s Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy, I spent the first several days volunteering at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit.

Growing up, the “migrant crisis” that had dominated news cycles, political campaigns and popular culture was an image of refugees traversing oceans, arriving to European shores, or crossing the southern border of the U.S. Lost in a discourse that so often robs displaced populations of their humanity, dignity and protections under international law, there is … Continue reading "Building Sustainable Migration Management Frameworks in the Global South" The post Building Sustainable Migrati...| Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs
In October 2023, Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri became one of the first elected officials to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Beyond any foreign policy objections, some critics claimed the congresswoman was taking an anti-jobs stance that would cost her constituents well-paid positions at some of her district’s largest employers: two Boeing manufacturing plants … Continue reading "Examining Strategies for Politics and Protest of the American Labor Movement in Defense Manufacturing" The ...| Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs
As we sipped fresh watermelon juice in a cavernous room in the Royal Guard Palace in Manama, Bahrain, an unexpected figure entered the room to greet us: His Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the country’s national security advisor and a senior member of the royal family. “Hello Yale students!

Around the world, advances in gender equality have reached a standstill. During the COVID-19 pandemic, stay-at-home orders drastically increased incidents of intimate partner violence. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has emboldened anti-abortion activists both domestically and globally. Whether one looks to the nation’s highest courts or personal family relations, one finds the perpetuation of … Continue reading "Engaging Men and Boys in Feminist and Anti-violence Work"| Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs
