| Summer 2019

As a millennial, Katlyn Turner grew up hearing about big issues like the conflict in Iraq, universal healthcare, and climate change. She had a desire to solve an issue with a similar magnitude, and in college a professor introduced her to nuclear energy. Now, Turner is studying nuclear waste and emerging technologies in the nuclear energy cycle as a joint research fellow with the Belfer Center’s Project on Managing the Atom and International Security Program.

Q&A: Zoe Marks

| Spring 2019

This Q&A focuses on Zoe Marks, Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. Her research and teaching interests focus on the intersections of conflict and political violence; race, gender and inequality; peacebuilding; and African politics. Her current book project examines the internal dynamics of rebellion in Sierra Leone to understand how and why rebel groups can sustain a viable threat to the state without widespread support.

Encouraging student research initiatives is one of many ways the Belfer Center helps prepare the next generation of leaders in science and international affairs, an essential component of the Belfer Center’s mission. Central to those future leaders are Kennedy School students as well as pre-and post-doctoral research fellows. This article describes the expanding opportunities available for students to engage with the Belfer Center.

Belfer Center Spring 2019 Newsletter

| Spring 2019

The Spring 2019 issue of the Belfer Center newsletter features two major reports: A Vision for Nuclear Security, from the Project on Managing the Atom, and NATO in Crisis, a  70th anniversary report from former NATO Ambassadors Nicholas Burns and Douglas Lute. The newsletter also highlights Center Korea scholars' reactions to the shortened Trump-Kim Summit in Hanoi, and some takeaways from nuclear experts who recently examined samples of Iranian nuclear-related documents spirited out of Iran by a clandestine Israeli intelligence operation.

And there's much more.
