Eun A Jo

I am David and Cindy Edelson Fellow in International Security at the Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College and a fellow at Good Authority. Previously, I was a Predoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Security and Conflict Studies at George Washington University and a Morgenthau Fellow at the International Security Center at University of Notre Dame. I received my PhD in Government from Cornell University in 2024. In 2025, I will begin as an Assistant Professor in the Government Department at William and Mary. 

I study the democratic origins of national memory and their implications for international relations in/of East Asia. Working across the disciplinary divides, my research explores how we—as a national unit—negotiate how we remember and what we forget. My research has been published or is forthcoming in International Organization and Asian Survey. I have received, among others, the Nuno P. Monteiro Best Dissertation Award, Catherine McArdle Kelleher Best Article Award and the Alexander L. George Best Article Award from the American Political Science Association.

Occasionally, I write commentaries on contemporary policy issues. My writings have appeared in outlets such as Foreign Affairs, The National Interest, and The Diplomat, as well as in think tank publications, including by the Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Rand Corporation.
