Much of his work focuses on American nuclear policy through a historical lens, public education and activism, and how the presence of nuclear weapons affects society broadly.

A former N Square fellow, Andrew holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston University and a master’s in international relations from Harvard Extension School. His thesis explored a unique dimension of Mao Zedong’s ideology and the longlasting normative influence those beliefs had on China’s future nuclear policy choices.

Articulating these intersections and making key connections will be the most important (and longest-lasting) bottom-up work that we can do.
