Title: Introducing the New 2020-21 MSFS Institute for the Study of Diplomacy Fellows

Each year, the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy hosts a number of student fellows and scholars who conduct independent research projects that focus on ongoing and emerging diplomatic issues. The fellowship provides academic credit, stipends, and merit-based tuition scholarships to selected BSFS and graduate SFS students.

This year MSFS students represent three of the cohort’s eight student fellows will tackle a diverse range of cutting-edge topics, including the use artificial intelligence to create humanitarian early warning systems, the repatriation of foreign Islamic State fighters, European security decision-making, energy development in the eastern Mediterranean, Sino-Russian Arctic cooperation, the distribution of development assistance. There are also two projects on the impact of disinformation on transatlantic and US-China relations. Their advisers include ISD Senior Fellows and Staff and SFS faculty, as well as an SFS alumna who has just written a book on Russian information warfare, and a senior fellow from Georgetown’s new Center for Security and Emerging Technology who is a retired Air Force Lieutenant General and former senior intelligence official.
