Pardee School Unveils Its First Magazine Issue
Since its founding in 2014, the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University has been at the forefront of conversations about international relations, culture, gender, and policymaking, fostering a talented cohort of future leaders. And it carries this legacy well into its second decade with a growing community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. With the Pardee magazine’s arrival, a new chapter unfolds, one that proudly chronicles and reminisces the school’s stories and milestones while setting the stage for the future.
The first issue of Pardee kickstarts with a brief profile on Frederick S. Pardee, the school’s generous benefactor followed by a message from Dean Scott Taylor. This edition’s cover story – The Next Generation of Global Leaders – spotlights how the Pardee School students are enacting change through their research contributions, fellowships, and internships.
In the features segment, members of the alumni return to relay valuable insights about their respective area of expertise whereas faculty members including Jorge Heine, Vivien Schmidt, Paul Webster Hare, Noora Lori, and Nimi Wariboko examine the biggest international challenges awaiting the Trump administration. Held last year in Washington D.C., the Alliance for Afghan Women’s Economic Resilience (AWER) Summit, a joint effort of the U.S. Department of State and Boston University Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies also appears in the magazine.
Highlights from the News section include faculty honors, visits from the former state heads of three countries, launch of a new career services unit, and graduate researchers’ event Atlas. Mentions of former students including Julia Kim Clarke and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grace the Alumni News section with snippets of their latest appearances and achievements. Former international relations student, Samira Jafar shares her debut poetry collection, Young, celebrating the political and the personal.
