Geography Ph.D. student Sayoni Bose (Advised by Kevin Cox) has just received an $8340 grant from the Mershon Center for International Security Studies. They fund research projects related to issues of national and international security. They have three principal areas of focus within the broader scope of national and international security issues. These relate to a) the use of force and diplomacy, b) the ideas, identities, and decisional process that affect security, and c) the institutions that manage violent conflict. My research project matches very closely with their second focus on how ideas, identities, and decisional process affect security. Congratulations Sayoni.
