Sarah Kwon
Sarah Kwon is a Princeton Fellow at the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), based in the Barcelona office. Her areas of interest include forced displacement, civil-military relations, and the role of marginalized actors in addressing complex political and social transitions. She is particularly interested in how urban communities experience and respond to conflict, migration, and social change.
Outside of IFIT, Sarah is a Gender and Security Fellow at the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination, Princeton University’s premier research center on self-determination, sovereignty, and international affairs. She also serves as Vice President of her class year, representing approximately 1,500 students and advocating on their behalf. Sarah has extensive experience working with underserved urban communities through her work with The Cities Project and Solidaridad Central Jersey. These experiences have strengthened her interest in inclusive narratives, community engagement, and solutions that address inequalities in urban settings.
Sarah is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, with minors in History and the Practice of Diplomacy, and Urban Studies.
