Quincy Institute Welcomes Eight New Non-Resident Fellows, Bringing Program’s Roster to 50 

WASHINGTON, DC — The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft (QI) today welcomed eight accomplished advocates and scholars to its roster of non-resident fellows. QI’s non-resident fellows program connects a diverse array of restraint-oriented thinkers who help bring the best in outside-the-beltway thinking into the DC foreign policy conversation.

“We are ecstatic to welcome this group of scholars to the QI team, a talented assortment of thinkers who are each uniquely dedicated to building a more peaceful world,” QI executive vice president Trita Parsi said. “At a turbulent and dangerous time in geopolitics, we look forward to their contributions to our mission of centering U.S. foreign policy on restraint and diplomacy — a vital step to making America and the world safer places.”

Hailing from communities around the United States and around the world, the fellows — Stephen Costello (George Washington University), Christopher Coyne (George Mason University), Daniel Elkins (Special Operations Association of America), Nontobeko Hlela (University of Johannesburg), Maryam Jamshidi (University of Colorado), Amin Mohseni-Cheraghlou (American University), Almut Rochowanski (activist working on Eastern Europe and Eurasia), and Denis Simon (Duke University)  — will help carry QI’s message to audiences far from Washington. 

These individuals are leaders in their respective fields of work and study, from regional and grand strategy expertise in academia to veterans advocacy and grassroots civil society work. Their contributions will broaden and deepen the impact of the Quincy Institute’s work across all aspects of U.S. foreign policy.

Since its founding in 2019, QI has brought together its non-resident fellows from around the country and the world to build a restraint-based network and given each a platform in Washington. With these latest additions, the program now includes 50 fellows.
