2013 Graduate Student Fellows in National Security

The Tobin Project awards fellowships annually to graduate students across disciplines and institutions whose research relates to security studies. In monthly forums throughout the academic year, the students present and discuss their work with one another for uniquely interdisciplinary feedback.
