We are delighted to announce the appointment of new honorary professor Ashlee Godwin to the School of Politics and International Relations.
Ashlee is Head of the International Affairs and National Security Hub at the UK House of Commons, which brings together and develops expertise both within Parliament and beyond in pursuit of cutting-edge policy analysis.
Until April 2023, she ran a team of experts that worked in support of all international-facing Select Committees, providing policy expertise, consultancy and innovation in scrutiny. These include the Foreign Affairs, Defence, International Development and International Trade Select Committees, in addition to the Joint Committee on the National Security Strategy. In 2020-21, she was seconded to Downing Street, where she worked as a policy adviser to the Prime Minister as a member of the No. 10 Integrated Review Taskforce.
Ashlee has previously worked at the UK defence think tank RUSI, as Deputy Editor of its flagship policy journal. She is a Fulbright Scholar in US national security policy-making, a Millennium Fellow with the Washington-based Atlantic Council, and in 2019 she participated in the State Department-sponsored International Visitor Leadership Program on cyber security.
