photo of William RichardsonCongratulations to Polisci PhD candidate William Richardson on his recent thesis proposal defence!

William’s PhD dissertation will employ three influential theories of international relations to produce an original explanation of why the United States shares many of its most sensitive and costly defence technologies with partners and allies. Technology sharing is a major focus of contemporary American defence cooperation with other nations, but there is no scholarship examining why the country engages in these activities.

We would also like to congratulate Will on his recent marriage!
