Sidney D. Drell Academic Award | Meg Guliford, Vice-Provost Post Doctoral Fellow, Perry World House, University of Pennsylvania

Meg Guliford embodies what it means to be a dedicated scholar, engaged community member, and esteemed role model. While a PhD candidate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Ms. Guliford brought service as a defense analyst for the U.S. government and on-the-ground experience in a war zone to her work on the complex dynamics of foreign intervention. The strength of her research, which investigates how external intervention impacts the victimization of civilians in civil wars, has been recognized by the broader community, earning her a seat at conferences and public discussions, as well as a prestigious multi-year fellowship to be in residence at Perry World House from the University of Pennsylvania’s Provost.
