Hello, everyone! My name is Chelsea, and I earned my MA in International Studies in 2016. My areas of emphasis are security studies and German politics. I received my BA in German and International Relations from the University of Arkansas in 2013, and I spent the year following working as a Fulbright English teaching assistant in my favorite city in the world, Erfurt, Germany. (You can read my old blog from that time here!)

As part of my MA, I wrote a thesis about the role of the political Left in Germany using the Left Party in the state of Thuringia as a case study. (They're currently the senior partners in a coalition government, which is fascinating!)

Most recently, I worked as an organizer in Philadelphia for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me on twitter or in the comments!
