Shahriar Chowdhury is a graduate student at the School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University. After graduating from Michigan State University, he chose to pursue a master’s degree to fulfill his ambition to work on a global level.
Shahriar is focusing on International Security and Foreign Policy Analysis, and is currently part of the Graduate Diplomacy Council (GDC) serving as Director of Internal Affairs. The current state of the Basque Country piqued his interest as it gives him an opportunity to learn more about conflict and conflict resolution. In a conversation with Director Daniel Kristo, Shahriar expressed interest in working with a team that focused on a variety of issues–including International Security. Mr. Kristo then put him in touch with the Director of Research Projects, Dr. Manojlovic. Shahriar hopes to raise awareness of the current security issues that Basque face in their pursuit for state recognition.
