Each year, we celebrate research at the Elliott School with the Michael Brown Research Prize, which honors a faculty member who has made an outstanding contribution to the scholarly and policy relevant understanding of important international issues. We are honored to have Dr. Ilana Feldman as this year's recipient. She is a leading scholar of the Middle East who has made significant contributions to the fields of Anthropology, History, and International Affairs through her focus on government and bureaucracy, humanitarianism, policing, and the Palestinian experience. In this year's keynote, she'll speak to the history of this scholarship and to the question of Palestine.
