IOP announces fall fellows
Harvard University's Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the Kennedy School of Government, recently announced the selection of an experienced group of individuals for resident fellowships this fall. Resident fellows interact with students, participate in the intellectual life of the community, and pursue individual studies or projects throughout an academic semester.
The following fellows will join the institute for the fall semester and will lead weekly, not-for-credit study groups on a range of political topics:
Kishwer Falkner, Baroness Falkner of Margravine, Peer, House of Lords, Parliament, United Kingdom
James Flug, former chief counsel to U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.)
Karen Hicks, former field director, Democratic National Committee
Alan Khazei, co-founder, City Year
Christina Martin, senior vice president, Corporate Communications, Securities Industry Association; former press secretary to U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.)
George Moose, former assistant secretary of state for African affairs and career member of the U.S. Foreign Service
"We are very pleased to welcome such accomplished political practitioners to serve as fellows at the Institute of Politics," said Jeanne Shaheen, director of the IOP. "Their diverse experience in government, campaigns, international relations, and community service is sure to create excitement on campus and throughout the Cambridge community."
The fellowships program is central to the institute's dual commitment to encourage student interest in public life and to increase interaction between the academic and political communities.
