Our Mission

The Future Strategy Forum (FSF) aims to advance intellectual discourse and improve U.S. foreign policy by facilitating the entrance and elevation of under-represented voices. FSF advances three goals:

  • Amplify women’s expertise in international security and help advance their careers through our platform

  • Bolster mentorship vertically among junior, mid-career, and senior scholars and practitioners, and horizontally amongst doctoral students

  • Close the academic-policy divide through publications and building networks of scholars and practitioners
