Joseph

Joseph is a Master's in Public Policy candidate at the Harvard Kennedy School, focusing on human rights and social justice, particularly in Palestine, the Levant, and the United States. He is also currently a Research and Investigations Fellow with Physicians for Human Rights. Joseph participated in the 2020 RCPI J-Term trip and spent the summer as an intern with the human rights organization B'Tselem, based in Jerusalem. In this role, he conducted a comparative analysis of the apartheid practices of both South Africa and Israel to identify key similarities and differences between these two systems of oppression. He is also an editor for the Progressive Policy Review and the Journal of Middle East Politics and Policy at HKS. Joseph is deeply thankful for his experiences with RCPI and all he has learned from both the team and his peers.
