Professional and Community Activity
I am a member of the Responsible Engagement Board, at the Sié Center for International Security and Diplomacy, Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver. If you have a question regarding the ethical dimensions of scholarly engagement with policy audiences and debates, please submit it to the Anonymous Advice on Responsible Engagement platform (anonymity guaranteed for all parties) here.
I also volunteer with Charlie's Place, which serves homeless neighbors in the Washington, D.C. I encourage you to donate and to volunteer.
I am married to Steven Schwarz, a former computer scientist who is now a professional musician and composer. Music, especially classical music, is an important part of our lives. Please support your local arts organizations; the pandemic has been a major setback for the arts community.
In my spare time, I work at creating a woodland garden in the small space in front of my home in Washington, D.C.
