The Albritton Center for Grand Strategy congratulates CGS faculty affiliate Dr. Yuval Weber for winning two prestigious funding awards. Weber, with Edward Lemon and Marlene Laruelle, was awarded the Department of Defense’s Minerva Research Initiative grant to investigate hierarchy and resilience in global power politics, focusing on Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Weber, with Michael Nojeim of Prairie View A&M University, also won a Presidential Transformational Teaching Grant from the Presidential Excellence Fund on the subject of race and international relations. The grant funds a course co-taught by PVAMU and the Bush School-DC, providing both a workshop at PVAMU and an opportunity for PVAMU students to visit the DC campus of the Bush School and engage with policy and diplomacy professionals.
