The Reppy Institute is pleased to announce the recipients of the Graduate Fellowship for 2019-2020: Jonathan Lohnes (history), Cameron Mailhot (government), and Lindsey Pruett (government). The fellowship provides one semester of in-absentia tuition, stipend, and health insurance.

Lohnes will conduct multi-archival research in Turkey, examining the construction of Libya during the early 20th century, a period that created perceptions of a North-South Mediterranean divide that remain influential in the dynamics of migration from North Africa to Europe. Mailhot will undertake fieldwork in Kosovo, with the aim of better understanding the determinants of success and failure in international peacebuilding missions. Pruett will conduct fieldwork in Guinea and Senegal, examining the role of the military in shaping citizen trust in states.

In "The Human Costs of Peace in Korea" she discusses South Korean President Moon Jae-in as he doubles down on his peace initiative, saying North Korean refugees will face greater challenges in the South.

In "A Democratic Response to Coronavirus: Lessons from South Korea," she claims South Korea's success thus far isn't just due to its government. The public itself has been a crucial part of the story.

In "South Korea's experiment in pandemic surveillance" she says that South Korea is a testing ground for how to balance robust surveillance in the name of public health with individual privacy rights.
