The Wilson Center offers a community deeply engaged in understanding and solving key problems of our time. The fellowship presented an opportunity to learn, contribute, and grow. I am grateful for the experience.

“The Wilson Fellowship marked a milestone in my career as a foreign correspondent, giving me the opportunity to break from the nonstop news cycle and refocus on the historical significance of the events I have witnessed. In Washington, I was welcomed into a community of scholars and allowed to pursue my academic interests with complete freedom. It was a fantastic experience.”

“The Wilson Center’s Fellowship Program brings together a wonderfully diverse cohort of experts who are tackling important global issues from a wide range of disciplinary and international perspectives. I found our cohort’s research discussions to be intellectually stimulating and valuable in my work. On top of it all, the Wilson Center’s staff and in-house scholars are immensely supportive and welcoming.”

“The Wilson Center provides a robust intellectual environment for research, exchange, and programming. During my time at the Wilson Center, I was fortunate to meet and have discussions with colleagues and guests from across the globe. The Wilson Center’s pandemic pivot included a mix of hybrid, virtual, and in-person gatherings. It was an honor to return to the Wilson Center after previously visiting as a doctoral fellow—a full circle moment.”
