Founding President, The Trebuchet

I am the Founding Director Emeritus (1985-2016) of the Institute For Global Leadership at Tufts University. This letter from Tufts’ President Anthony Monaco upon my departure encapsulates and summarizes my accomplishments during that time.

Resonating the mantra I originally developed for the Institute, Thinking Beyond Boundaries / Acting Across Borders, The Trebuchet’s motto is Breaking Down Barriers /Building Bridges.

Directly after becoming Emeritus, I was named a Senior Fellow with the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Kennedy School of Harvard University, a two-year term from July 2017 through August 2019.

I have been appointed Professor of Practice of International Relations and Global Affairs and Special Adviser for Intellectual Life at India’s newest University, Sai University in Chennai, reuniting with a wonderful friend, SaiU’s Vice Chancellor and the noted cognitive neuroscientist, Professor Jamshed Bharucha, formerly Tufts University’s Provost. I will help develop their initial international relations curriculum, buttress their Alternative Dispute Resolution instruction, and advise the Chancellor on the creation of their interdisciplinary synaptic offerings. I am also developing a distinguished lecture series at Krea University and serve on its advisory board.

I finished my three year term as Non-Resident Research Associate at the Centre for International Studies of Oxford University's Department of Politics and International Relations. I serve as Senior Fellow at the Liechtenstein Institute for Strategic Development, and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights; Senior Strategic Advisor for the Human Rights Foundation (expanding the Oslo Scholars Program I created), and Strategic Adviser for RefugePoint, and Music for Life International.

I serve on the Advisory Boards of the VII Foundation and the Mind/Brain Center on War and Humanity; Internet Bar Organization, the Development Advisory Board of the Council for European Studies, and contributor, EuropeNow; Daughters for Life Foundation; The Academic Board of the American Friends of Combatants for Peace; Student Pugwash USA, International Student/Youth Pugwash, the International Peace Accelerator; Embodying Peace; Embodying Justice, Jewish Movement for Uyghur Freedom, Global Futurist Initiative, and Final Words.

In 2018, I was appointed by the Albright Institute of Wellesley College as the inaugural Mentor for their Albright Fellows. I advise the directors and students of Harvard College’s International Relations Council.

I am a Fellow of Professor Philip Bobbitt’s Institute for Law and Strategy.

Most recently, I have joined the Board of Advisors of The Healing Minds Foundation
