At the International Studies Association conference held in New York City on 15-18 February 2009, Laura-Lee Smith (class of 2009) presented her thesis entitled "Why have U.S. economic sanctions been largely ineffective in deterring Iranian nuclear ambitions?"
"ISA was an incredible experience for me. I was able to present my thesis to experts with a panel of Ph.D. students for feedback and criticism. Inclusion in one of the largest and well-respected conferences in political science was an opportunity to represent AGSIRD to the fullest. The presence of my academic advisor Dr. Ruchi Anand and fellow student Jenica Jones gave me confidence during the most nerve-racking moments. Overall, the conference was a success - I received encouraging remarks and suggestions for how to sharpen my topic which I will include in my final thesis presentation."

AGS has not only introduced and allowed me to explore the ideas of the scholars in the field, but also to explore my own ideas in the hopes that they become a part of the larger discipline.
