We’re pleased to announce that, in partnership with The Public Interest Fellowship, we will be hosting the Security and Strategy Seminar (SSS) for the 2022-2023 cycle.
SSS is a graduate-level seminar in Washington, D.C. focused on distinct challenges to the American position in the world with an emphasis on policy and cohort-building. In 2022-2023, SSS will consist of four separate, simultaneous year-long seminars, each focused on a significant challenge to the U.S. national security: Defense Strategy & Policy, the People’s Republic of China, Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Taught by leading scholars in the field, each seminar will consist of 15 evening sessions that meet from September to May and will provide fellows an opportunity to gain a breadth of knowledge on critical subjects, forge relationships with senior scholars and practitioners, sharpen analytical frameworks through written and oral arguments, and build a cohort with their peers.
SSS seeks a professionally diverse and first-rate class of highly committed junior to mid-level professionals (25 to 35 years old) already working in policy-relevant institutions. Each seminar will meet on the same designated day of the week from 6:00pm-8:30pm. Fellows will be responsible for around 50 pages of reading for each session and will be required to write two short essays over the course of the program. All four tracks will convene together for the first and last sessions. Fellows will also have the opportunity to take part in a crisis simulation, to attend the annual Writing Workshop Conference, and to be published in the SSS journal, Security and Strategy.
If interested, please submit an application here. Candidates will be considered for all seminars of interest.Qualified applicants will be contacted to participate in an interview. Applications are due no later than May 6. You can read more about the 2022-2023 Security and Strategy Seminar here.
