Background

About Alison Fox

I am an enthusiastic professional whose work experience has predominately been in higher education and local government. I have a great deal of international experience studying and working in the United Kingdom but also with international institutions and organisations. I thrive while working under pressure and thoroughly enjoy enabling people to reach their potential. I value collaboration, teamwork and the sharing of ideas and opinions to gain the best possible solution. I am passionate about political science, international relations and history. Specifically my area of interest is in humanitarian intervention, human rights and foreign policy. Throughout my education, I have done research on humanitarian intervention in ethnic cleansing and genocide, with a focus on the Rwandan Genocide. Whilst studying current issues, I believe one must also study the history and background that underlines these. I am also interested in the concept of Responsibility to Protect; and the role of the international community and intergovernmental organisations such as the United Nations and European Union. I believe in the strength of caring local and international communities, in empowering and supporting people. I am seeking opportunities in non-profit organisations, intergovernmental organisations, nongovernmental organisations, or government.
