Dr. Jo L. Husbands Memorial Fund

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Dr. Jo L. Husbands. Dr. Husbands was a long-time supporter of Women In International Security (WIIS) and served as a member of the WIIS advisory board.


Dr. Husbands supported the development of WIIS’ Summer Symposia series, an initiative designed to bring together young leaders from around the world to discuss the complex dynamic between globalization and security.


In honor of Dr. Husbands, WIIS has established the Dr. Jo L. Husbands Memorial Fund. All donations to the Dr. Jo L. Husbands Memorial Fund will support the WIIS’ Next Generation Scholars (NGS) Program. Like the Summer Symposia, this program aims to build and sustain a community of young national and international security experts who are diverse and knowledgeable about the gender dynamics of national and international security challenges.
