STATEMENT
My goal is to bring a comparative and international dimension to the Policy Center. By doing so, I seek to broaden students' perspectives on regional and national policymaking. I also aim to shed light on the political forces behind "public" policy and the often unforeseen consequences of even the best-intentioned initiatives.
