Interns

Eric J. Ryan
Fall 2023 RJISSF Social Media Intern

Columbia University, Master of International Affairs, 2023

I was born and raised in Newington, Connecticut, where I still enjoy visiting as a nice change of pace from the non-stop hustle of New York City. I attended Harvard for my undergrad, where I studied Sociology and Economics while playing on the Varsity Football Team. After school, I joined the law practice Skadden Arps in NYC, where I spent three years as a Legal Assistant contributing to disputes and arbitrations of international scope.

I am currently in my final semester of an MIA degree at Columbia SIPA, focusing on International Security Policy and Conflict Resolution. I am focused on entering the political risk analysis field, analyzing political, security, social and financial dimensions of societies in Latin America, where I have family ties.

I'm looking forward to expanding H-Diplo/RJISSF's online presence.

Katie Ryan
Fall/Winter 2023 RJISSF Research Intern and Social Media Intern

Katie Ryan is a fourth year student at Columbia University; she will receive her BA of English Literature from Columbia College this spring and her MIA in International Security Policy from SIPA in the spring of 2025. Katie has been a student scholar with the Saltzman Institute of War & Peace Studies for the past two academic years. She is also a division one student athlete on the women’s rowing team. Her research interests include the social impact of war as portrayed through literature as well as the early detection of conflict escalation. She is hoping to work in the intelligence community or for a think tank for a few years post-grad before pursuing her doctorate. In her free time, she enjoys running, reading, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
