Brilliant news Diplomates fans, we've got more great foreign policy content for you as promised!

Welcome to the Chinwag Episodes!

We are pleased to announce Hagar Chemali as our second Chinwagger!

Hagar will join Misha for a monthly chinwag. The Chinwag episodes will be shorter and more focused on what's happening around the world of foreign policy. Be sure to send your questions in if you've got something on your mind.

Misha will continue to do deep-dive episodes with leading experts from around the world as per your regular programming. 

Who is Hagar? Firstly, she's awesome (but here's her bio anyway).

Hagar Hajjar Chemali is a political satirist, foreign policy expert, and host and creator of the weekly world news show Oh My World! on YouTube. She is also a nonresident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics center, and is featured regularly as a national security analyst on MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Bloomberg, and Cheddar.

Hagar’s professional background and foreign policy expertise have been shaped by senior public affairs and policy-making positions she held over the course of 12 years in the U.S. Government. From 2015-2016, she was Director of Communications and Spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations under President Obama, and from 2014-2015, she was Spokesperson for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. From 2010-2012, Hagar was Director for Syria and Lebanon at the White House, National Security Council, where she advised on and coordinated the implementation of U.S. policy toward Syria and Lebanon. Hagar also worked at the Treasury Department as a Senior Policy Advisor on Asia and Middle East Policy Advisor in the Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes.

 

Hagar has a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs where she concentrated on International Security Policy and the Middle East. She also graduated from Columbia University’s Barnard College where she majored in Political Science. She speaks English, French, Arabic, and Italian.
