Thanks for bearing with us...
It's been a while since I posted here, and over a month since Bipasha Ray (who did a truly stellar job of holding down the fort in my absence) stopped posting. (Bipasha has since started an exciting new job at the Open Society Institute.) Since leaving Century I have been traveling, dealing with a family crisis, and working on other projects, and have had too little time to do devote to this project.
This week I started work as a Program Officer at the Carnegie Corporation of New York, where I will be making grants on nuclear security issues (my other area of professional interest.) Afghanistan, with its struggles and triumphs, remains an issue I care about passionately, and I will be looking for new means and venues to continue the work we started here. Keep checking in and I will keep you posted!
In the meantime, I am eager to hear your thoughts. I still maintain that there is a need for thoughtful analysis on Afghanistan that goes beyond the headlines and that features new (as well as familiar) voices from a variety of perspectives. We cannot afford to let Afghanistan slip out of the spotlight -- the stakes are too great.
Please contact me at robichaud@tcf.org if you would like to discuss the future of Afghanistan Watch, or just want to check in. Thanks again for your patient readership and for all your thoughtful feedback over the past three years.
