Meet DFP Spring Fellow, Kyaw Hsan Hlaing, Cornell University
Kyaw Hsan Hlaing is a PhD student in the department of government at Cornell University and a 2024 recipient of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. He studies comparative politics with a focus on regime change, political violence, authoritarianism, and rebel politics. Before enrolling at Cornell, he resumed his undergraduate studies at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa in January 2023—following a seven-year hiatus from his studies at Yangon University of Distance Education at Sittwe University—and received his BA in Asian studies in July 2024 with high academic distinction.
