Zoë Fanning wins Matteo Ricci, SJ International Studies Honors Thesis Award

The IS Program's thesis award is named in honor of 16th century Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci, known for his nearly 30-year work in China as a scholar, scientist, and missionary. We are pleased to announce that this year's winner is Zoë Fanning, whose thesis "Civilian Healthcare under Fire: International Healthcare Intervention in Post-Cold War Armed Conflicts" combined original interviews, statistical regression analysis, and GIS mapping to examine civilian health interventions in the Bosnian, Nepalese and Syrian civil wars. Congratulations to Zoë, and thank you to thesis advisor Prof. Erickson!
