Amy Stambach, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor in the Department of Anthropology, was appointed an International Affairs Fellow for Tenured International Relations Scholars, part of the Council on Foreign Relations, located in Washington, DC. Fellows are offered practical experience in foreign policy through a twelve-month placement at a U.S. federal government agency, in Congress, or with an international organization. Stambach’s research focuses on local communities’ selective uptake and modification of externally framed policy mandates, human security, nongovernmental organizations, and U.S.-Africa policy.
