What's Next for This Year's Graduating IQSS Affiliates

The IQSS community includes affiliated graduate students in programs all across Harvard University and active in a wide range of social science research. The end of the academic year always brings with it the departure of some of those graduate students as they finish their Harvard programs, and while it is a bittersweet time for us, we are excited to see what our graduating affiliates have waiting for them on the next steps of their respective journeys. Below is a collection of updates from some of those affiliates going on to continue their work beyond Harvard.
