Peace Economy Project Names Arms Control Fellows

By Jason Sibert

The Peace Economy Project is happy to announce two PEP arms control fellows for the summer of 2019.

The Arms Control Fellowship program is in its first year. The program will educate college students on the basics of arms control and foreign policy. It will concentrate on the history of arms control and its current applications. The interns will write works of opinion journalism on arms control as an alternative security strategy to war.

Washington University undergraduate student Aneesh Sood has been named a PEP arms control fellow. He grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and is an international studies student at Washington University. His concentration in international studies is the development of individual countries. Sood plans on attending law school and concentrating on international law. He’s also working for a law firm this summer.

Maggie Hannick has also been named a PEP arms control fellow. She just graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy in St. Louis and will attend College of Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. In addition, Hannick has been working as an intern for PEP for four months. She wants to use the arms control fellow program to learn more about arms control and to be able to argue for its relevance as a national security strategy. This summer she’s also working for Civitas in a research capacity on social justice issues. Hannick is considering a career in arms control and diplomacy.
