A University of Minnesota professor’s proposal to solve the Syrian conflict is being discussed at the national level.
The U.S. Department of State asked political science professor Kathryn Sikkink to submit her ideas to solve problems in Syria — a rare occurrence for University professors.
Sikkink, who’s been at the University for more than a decade, was one of about 10 academics selected to draft solutions for the Syrian crisis, an effort led by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research.
