All of us at MyLLife are thrilled to introduce a member of our MyLLife Scholars 2024 Cohort, Natalie Bryce!
I am a fourth-year International Relations Ph.D. student in the UCLA Department of Political Science. My research focuses on human rights, international law, political violence, and international organizations. My dissertation explores how international politics influence the prevention and punishment of international crimes.
Prior to my Ph.D., I earned a Master of Public Administration from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Pepperdine University. This summer, I am interning at the United Nations Office in Geneva as part of my research on UN fact-finding missions. Support from the MyLLife Public Policy scholarship will enable me to conduct field research and interviews onsite in Switzerland, which will greatly enhance my dissertation.
I am deeply grateful for this support and the opportunity to join a community of like-minded scholars who are working to tackle the world’s toughest problems.
