Sorry for the absence. Last week was hectic with finishing up my coursework and graduation. I will be back with a vengeance this week. This week, I’ll finish up my analysis of America.gov, write about the need for more media assistance in Afghanistan and the relationship between COIN and PD.
Before all that, I want to take a second to thank some people who have been instrumental to my academic growth over the last two years.
Nick Cull. A fantastic historian and passionate advisor, thank you for introducing me to this field and inspiring me to pursue a career in public diplomacy.
Gordon Stables. A great boss, debate coach and friend, thank you for being a great listening board and always being in a great mood.
Sherine Walton. Another great boss and one of the kindest people I’ve ever worked with, thanks for providing me with the flexibility to be creative at work.
Anne Chermak. A great resource and mentor, thanks for grounding our discussion with what really happened. I’m sure the State Department still misses her. I’ll plug my program here. Anne is an example of one of USC’s greatest perks, having a former diplomat in residence. You can’t beat that.
Shawn Powers. Excuse me, Dr. Shawn Powers. You may not believe this, but you were a role model to me over these last two years in terms of how to approach the subject matter in an intelligent and innovative way. Best of luck at the LSE.
