Joslyn Barnhart

Hello. I am a 3rd year doctoral student in Political Science with a focus in International Relations at UCLA. I have a BA in Neuroscience and an MA in Political Philosophy. I am interested in the evolution of international norms of conflict, the evolution of international institutions, and evolutionary game theory. My current research is on different types of territorial change since 1494 and the emergence of norms proscribing territorial conquest with the rise of nationalism and in the post-1950 period. I am hoping to push the development of my dissertation topic while at Santa Fe and I look forward to learning from all of you.

When not working, I am usually running, advancing my wood-working skills, watching movies or Planet Earth, or trying to find new music to entertain me while I work. I am excited about exploring indian ruins around Santa Fe. I look forward to meeting you all in June.

Until then, I can be reached at joslyn_b@yahoo.com.
