If there’s anything the last few months of current events in the U.S. has made starkly clear, it’s that seemingly distinct entities in our lives — such as social media, politics and conflict, just to name a few — are much more interconnected in ways that few of us may see or understand.
Identifying those connections is a large part of the formidable body of work conducted by AAAS Member Nazli Choucri, Ph.D., a professor of political science and a senior faculty member at the Center of International Studies (CIS) and a faculty affiliate at the Institute for Data, Science, and Society (IDSS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2020, Dr. Choucri was elected as a AAAS Fellow for her work on international relations, cybersecurity and global sustainability solutions.
