Jeremy Doran, senior in Government Honors & Political Communication (with a certificate in Security Studies), is a Brumley Next Generation Undergraduate Scholar at the Strauss Center. Every year, our cohort of Scholars take a research training and career preparation class through the Brumley program. Today we talk with Jeremy about what the class has been working on, his experiences as an intern with the House Homeland Security Committee, and more:

Strauss Distinguished Scholar Joshua Busby co-authored a Council on Foreign Relations blog post on “Bright Future? Fourth Annual Review of Solar Scale-Up in India,” with Sarang Shidore, which addressed the future of India’s solar sector that is trying to meet the government’s 100GW target by 2022. The authors argue that the utility-scale slowdown implies that the 2022 goals will be a stretch. Despite the growth of installed capacity from 2.5GW in 2014 to 26GW in 2018, estimates suggest India will have at most about 65GW in 2022.

AUSTIN, Texas - Nicholas “Nick” Rasmussen, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), and Dr. Michele Malvesti, a scholar and former White House counterterrorism advisor, will teach and advise students at the University of Texas-Austin.
