The Weatherhead Center for International Affairs announced its 2024–2025 scholars and fellows of the Weatherhead Scholars Program (WSP). This year’s cohort comprises 20 members, including six postdoctoral fellows, five visiting scholars, and nine practitioner fellows. They represent diverse regions and disciplines, featuring peace and conflict specialists, career diplomats and public servants, and affiliates with a range of methodological approaches who work on a broad number of topics including human rights, humanitarian emergencies, political economy, democracy and governance, social welfare policies, and many others.
Scholars and fellows spend up to one year at Harvard conducting historical or contemporary international, transnational, global, and comparative research, including policy analysis. The Scholars Program welcomed its first class of participants in 2017–2018, when visiting faculty and postdoctoral researchers joined practitioners in this successor to the long-running Fellows Program, established in 1958. During their residency, they contribute to the intellectual activities of the Weatherhead Center and the broader Harvard community by participating in seminars and workshops, collaborating with research clusters, auditing courses, and working with undergraduate research assistants.
