Hey, I'm Hamza Malik, a Kashmiri-American undergraduate at the Elliott School of International Affairs in Washington, DC. I am currently majoring in International Affairs with a concentration in international politics. I am currently a Dean's Scholars Research Scholar researching Self-Determination and a published scientific author.
I started this blog to help clear my head and settle into university, as well as write about what I truly care about. You can expect most of these posts to be research papers or opinion articles on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. However, I also hope to share some of my other interests here as well, such as philosophy, art, music, books, technology, medicine, and sports. Thank you for checking this out, I hope you enjoy!
