The Whitney H. Shepardson Fellowship is periodically awarded to persons with experience and recognized professional stature in public or academic affairs related to the study of international relations. A Shepardson Fellow is expected to spend about a year affiliated with the Council, participating in Council programs while working on a book or other significant publication on a major foreign policy issue.
The 1997 Shepardson Fellowship was awarded to Tony Smith of Tufts University, who was writing a book on multiculturalism and U.S. foreign policy. The 1998 Shepardson Fellow was John Mearsheimer, the 1999-2000 Shepardson Fellow was Michael Mandelbaum, the 2001-2002 Shepardson Fellow was Charles A. Kupchan, the 2002-2003 Shepardson Fellow was Ronald Steel, and Peter Kenen is the current Shepardson Fellow.
The Studies department administers the Shepardson Fellowship.
