Nicholas Mancini

Nicholas was an infantryman with the United States Army from 2011-2014. While abroad, Nicholas felt there was need for greater emphasis or discretion for regional customs, which has guided his academic and career ambitions since. His academic interests included tribal dynamics in Afghanistan, modern Levantine history, Islamic law, state formation, and U.S.-Middle East relations, and he wrote a thesis about Kandahar's Pashtun tribes. Nicholas studied Arabic in Jordan with the Boren Scholarship.
