A graduate of Harvard University (Ph.D. in Public Policy), Bahar has worked for and consulted multilateral development banks, including the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.In this informative and interactive workshop, Bahar briefly discussed economic trends from international migration, experience in working for intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and in think-tanks, and how best to prepare for a career in public policy, government, and beyond.

By participating in this workshop, attendees:
