15 fellows to study “China Beyond Beijing” |
Summer Security Studies Seminars Announced
February 6, 2024 — The Hertog Foundation selected 15 university students and young professionals to participate in its virtual seminar, “China Beyond Beijing.”
Led by geopolitical risk analyst Jeremy Furchtgott, this online course will introduce fellows to open-source intelligence tools that are underappreciated yet accessible and rigorous, including maps, travelogues, historical accounts, and other primary-source materials. All fellows receive full scholarships, all course materials and a stipend to support their study.
This virtual seminar belongs to the Foundation’s Security Studies Program, a series of online and residential courses devoted to grand strategy in theory and in action. This summer, the Foundation will offer four weeklong seminars providing a practitioner’s view of national security, led by faculty who have direct experience forming and advising American policy, including the House’s China specialist, Mike Gallagher.
