Hadley Spadaccini (MA first-year)'s midterm paper for Dr. TJ Cheng's course, "The Political Economy of the Global Financial System", will be published in the East Asia Forum. 

This achievement highlights what is possible when course research is developed into publication-quality writing. Students are encouraged to view their term papers not simply as class assignments, but as potential contributions to broader policy and scholarly conversations. Outlets such as The Diplomat, East Asia Forum, Foreign Policy, Responsible Statecraft, Fulcrum, War on the Rocks, The Hill, and many others regularly publish high-quality analysis from emerging scholars and practitioners who send submissions via their online forms or emails online.

Hadley had also been selected as a U.S. delegate to the Y7 2026 Summit in Paris (May 17-20), where she contributed to discussions on technical disruption affecting youth, including issues related to AI governance and emerging technologies.
