Our Students
Preparing the Next Generation of Leaders
We could not do our work without the dozens of students who support the Sié Center's faculty, projects, and programs. Our student research assistants gain valuable experience, develop skills, and network with leading experts.
Through our student programs, the Sié Center seeks to prepare the next generation of scholars and practitioners. This includes our Sié Fellows, selected for their global leadership potential, and a variety of Ph.D., M.A. and B.A. candidates who bring their knowledge, skills, and experience to support faculty research and engagement efforts.
Students often have the opportunity to publish their research individually and in collaboration with faculty.

Navigating Fisheries Conflict
A significant increase in fisheries-related conflicts in the Indian Ocean since 2000 is heightening regional tensions. These conflicts have ranged from purely verbal and diplomatic disputes to armed attacks on fishing vessels by coast guards and navies. Managing these frictions will require careful diplomacy and coordination of expectations around access rights to these valuable resources among an incredibly diverse set of stakeholders.
Splitting the Bill
Ethnic and racial gaps in economic outcomes, labor opportunities and access to basic services, such as education and health remain a challenge throughout Latin America. Taxes and public spending are two effective tools governments have at their disposal to help close these gaps. However, fiscal policy tools are underutilized to reduce inequality in Latin America as compared to developed (OECD member) economies.
