March 10, 2021March 8, 2021 Daniel Birdsall 245 Views Faculty Spotlight

Fletcher students know Professor Dyan Mazurana well. She co-advises the Gender and Intersectional Analysis Field of Study (one of the only areas of concentration of its kind among APSIA schools), and I can tell readers from personal experience that her course Gender, Culture and Conflict in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies is not to be missed.

Over the past year I’ve had the great pleasure to get to know Bridge Professor in Cyber Security and Policy Susan Landau.

Finding joy during quarantine with Professor Sulmaan Khan

April 30, 2020April 30, 2020 Daniel Birdsall 424 Views Faculty Spotlight

I was delighted recently to hear from my colleague and friend Prof. Sulmaan Khan. A former faculty member of the Admissions Committee, ready volunteer for all our team’s requests, and (most importantly) a fan of my dog pal Murray, Sulmaan has long been a friend of the Admissions Office. As you’ll see, he’s fortunate to have a personal interest that’s still possible to pursue during quarantine.
