Five of the up-and-coming scholars who constituted the 2020-2021 cohort of postdoctoral fellows are off to new academic positions in the United States, Europe, and Israel. While they were here, they took full advantage of the opportunity to research, write, and teach that the fellowship affords.
“The fellowship gave me the time to finish up a number of projects I had been working on during my PhD, as well as start some new ones,” says Jori Breslawski, a political scientist. “Some of the projects I am most excited about examine the factors behind armed groups behavior toward humanitarians. I have been conducting interviews with humanitarian practitioners who have worked in violent contexts, for which my colleagues at the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies have been a great help!” She also managed to write several articles, which are currently under review, and realized her goal of publishing more for the general public.
