Laure Assayag

2016 John Lewis Fellowship

Add New<\/a>\r\n\r\nLaure Gillot-Assayag is currently a Ph.D. candidate in EHESS, policy analyst at UNESCO-IESALC and lecturer at Sciences Po (France). Her Ph.D. thesis, titled \u201cA Theory of Compromise in Democracy,\u201d examines the controversial role of compromise in democracy, arguing for its essential place in democratic debate and institutions. She holds four M.A. degrees in political philosophy (Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne), transnational and American history (ENS Ulm, Sciences Po Paris), and fundamental rights in EU and international law (University of Nantes). She also holds a university diploma in Korean studies (University of Bordeaux) and collaborates regularly with the think tank KEY to promote stronger relationships between Korea and Europe.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHer experience as a John Lewis Fellow at the National Civil Rights Center in Atlanta was transformative for her career, inspiring her to engage with international organizations and public institutions to drive positive change for communities. Consequently, she served as a Lantos Human Rights Fellow in the U.S. Congress (D.C.) for Rep. Juan Vargas, where she handled portfolios on foreign affairs and human rights. She has also contributed as an expert in constitutional law at the Venice Commission in the Council of Europe, worked as a policy analyst at the European Parliament to strengthen EU-US relations, and held positions at the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, the Museum of History of Immigration in Paris, and the American Embassy in Paris. Former Fulbright Fellow at Berkeley, she has received various international grants to support her research at Cambridge University (UK), Columbia University (USA), Loyola University (USA), Toyo University (Japan), KU Leuven (Belgium), Yonsei University (South Korea) and Academia Sinica (Taiwan). Besides her professional endeavors, Laure is passionate about conveying messages of engagement through art and cinema: she is the winner of the Daniel Sabatier Prize for the best documentary screenplay project on Arthur Mitchell, the first African-American ballet dancer to belong to a national ballet company in the U.S.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nUpdated May 2016<\/em>","_body":"field_5c6e191baedc9","meet_more_fellows_block":"","_meet_more_fellows_block":"field_5c6e1949aedca","featured_action_project":"","_featured_action_project":"field_5c87b06676248","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"30","add_fellowship_details":["yes"],"_add_fellowship_details":"field_5cc2031d665d2","fellowships_0_fellowship_location":"67","_fellowships_0_fellowship_location":"field_5c87a4df0c18f","fellowships_0_fellowship_year":"2016","_fellowships_0_fellowship_year":"field_5c6e182faedc7","fellowships":"1","_fellowships":"field_5cd35ccd54f77","person_title":"","_person_title":"field_5cb3df4144193","add_social_media_links":"","_add_social_media_links":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5cb43c4754fdd","social_facebook_url":"","_social_facebook_url":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5c6dca608cbed","social_twitter_url":"","_social_twitter_url":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5c6dca788cbee","social_medium_url":"","_social_medium_url":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5c6dca9f8cbef","social_instagram_url":"","_social_instagram_url":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5c6dcab98cbf0","social_linkedin_url":"","_social_linkedin_url":"field_5cb53f0be3334_field_5cc203842b9ae","social_media":"","_social_media":"field_5cb53f0be3334","cta_text":"","_cta_text":"field_5cc75271d4180_field_5c705ad2dcf19","is_external":"","_is_external":"field_5cc75271d4180_field_5c705adddcf1a","cta_reference":"","_cta_reference":"field_5cc75271d4180_field_5c705b19dcf1b","cta_component":"","_cta_component":"field_5cc75271d4180","patterns":"","_patterns":"field_5cb53f5ee3335","_thumbnail_id":"157150","_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":"3"},"post_author":"21","post_content":"","post_date":"2019-03-28 15:25:52","post_excerpt":"","post_parent":0,"post_status":"publish","post_title":"Laure Assayag","post_type":"person","slug":"laure-assayag","_wpml_word_count":"{\"total\":469,\"to_translate\":{\"bs\":469,\"da\":469,\"nl\":469,\"fr\":469,\"de\":469,\"pl\":469}}","_edit_lock":"1731946243:156","_edit_last":"156","_wpml_media_featured":"1","_wpml_media_duplicate":"1","display_title":"Laure Assayag","_display_title":"field_5c80260fd3048","person_category":["17"],"_person_category":"field_5c6e155aaedc3","event_title":"","_event_title":"field_5c87216c6c204","is_this_a_senior_fellow":"","_is_this_a_senior_fellow":"field_5c866ed58543c","subtitle":"","_subtitle":"field_5c6e16acaedc5","fellowship_country":"23","_fellowship_country":"field_5c6e16f1aedc6","fellowship_location":"67","_fellowship_location":"field_5c87a4df0c18f","fellowship_year":"2016","_fellowship_year":"field_5c6e182faedc7","introduction":"","_introduction":"field_5c6e18d9aedc8","body":"Born in Paris, Laure is a graduate student in a double full-time master degree in American History at the EHESS and in Philosophy at Paris- Sorbonne.

Karl Lemberg

Treasurer and Board Member, Humanity in Action Germany

2002 Berlin Fellowship

Karl is a first-generation Senior Fellow from the 2002 Berlin Fellowship program. He holds a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Potsdam and a Master of Science in Organization Development from American University.<\/div>\r\n
After several years of freelance work in public policy for various German and European government and policy institutions, Karl relocated to the United States and began a career in Management Consulting advising big tech companies through large-scale transformations. He currently supports the COO organization of a large German software company.<\/div>\r\n
Karl has his roots in East Germany and experienced constant change throughout his upbringing and career: the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification during his formative school years, the remaking of post-911\u00a0US foreign and domestic policy during his studies in Washington D.C., and most recently the erosion of a joint political discourse during the Obama and Trump years observed while living in San Francisco, CA and Dallas, TX.<\/div>\r\n

Karl is a first-generation Senior Fellow from the 2002 Berlin Fellowship program. He holds a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Potsdam and a Master of Science in Organization Development from American University.<\/div>\r\n
After several years of freelance work in public policy for various German and European government and policy institutions, Karl relocated to the United States and began a career in Management Consulting advising big tech companies through large-scale transformations. He currently supports the COO organization of a large German software company.<\/div>\r\n
Karl has his roots in East Germany and experienced constant change throughout his upbringing and career: the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification during his formative school years, the remaking of post-911\u00a0US foreign and domestic policy during his studies in Washington D.C., and most recently the erosion of a joint political discourse during the Obama and Trump years observed while living in San Francisco, CA and Dallas, TX.<\/div>\r\n
