To prospective PhD applicants

For international students and those considering graduate study in International Relations, please feel free to reach out. I am here because many generous colleagues offered advice and support along this journey, and I believe in continuing that virtuous cycle. Science is a collective enterprise. If I can be helpful, I would be happy to talk.
