“Nuclear weapons represent one of the few truly existential threats faced by humanity. By better understanding the danger and highlighting solutions to governments, I believe I’m helping to mitigate the risk of catastrophe.”

“My background as a practitioner working on conflict and governance issues drives my passion for my research at Carnegie. Having worked at both at the local level in places like Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Iraq, and in Washington policy circles, I’ve noticed that the United States faces some recurrent challenges in these environments. At Carnegie, I get to examine what we can learn from these challenges.”

Frances Z. Brown
Senior Fellow and Co-Director, Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program

“I love asking critical questions about political systems and their ability to impact the issues most salient to people’s lives. Carnegie encourages me to ask those questions and surrounds me with colleagues who are equally inquisitive about the world. I am constantly learning.”
