Amy Oakes is an Assistant Professor of Government with research interests in International Security. Professor Oakes received her B.A. from Davidson College and her PhD from Ohio State University.

She is currently working on a book manuscript that examines whether governments provoke international crises in response to domestic unrest. In 2009-2010, she was a research fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Debra Shushan

She came to William and Mary in 2007, and is a member of the faculties of interdisciplinary programs in International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies. Prof. Shushan received her B.A. from Harvard University, her M. Phil. from Oxford University and her PhD from Yale University.

Maurits van der Veen
Professor van der Veen joined the Government Department in 2010 after receiving his BA from Dartmouth College, MS from Stanford, and his PhD from Harvard University. His research examines the various ways policy-makers think about, or “frame” foreign policy issues, and the impact that different frames, in turn, have on actual policy choices. He has applied this approach to the study of foreign aid policy in Western Europe and the United States, the politics of European integration and EU enlargement, and the terminology used to describe massive human rights violations: what happens if you refuse to call a genocide a genocide? Dr. van der Veen also develops agent-based computational models to analyze the impact of social networks.
