Our People
Diplomacy is shaped by the people who study and practice it.
At the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy, our community brings together scholars, practitioners and advisors united by a shared commitment to the craft of diplomacy. From former ambassadors teaching in the classroom to researchers advancing the field, our people are central to everything we do.
Explore our faculty and staff, fellows, and board of advisors — each playing a distinct role in connecting diplomatic scholarship and practice.
Faculty and staff
Meet the scholars and administrators who lead ISD’s academic programs and research. Our faculty bring firsthand diplomatic experience to the classroom, including former ambassadors and secretaries of state.
Fellows
Our fellows are diplomatic and military practitioners who join ISD to teach, mentor and contribute to scholarship. They develop courses grounded in their own experience navigating the world’s most complex challenges.
Board of advisors
Our board of advisors guides ISD’s policy, programs and development. Drawn from the public and private sectors, board members share a deep commitment to diplomacy as a profession and an instrument of national policy.
Support us
The fellows program depends on the generosity of supporters who believe in the value of bringing experienced practitioners into the classroom. Consider making a gift to ISD to help sustain and grow this vital program.
