Noe Hinck
Biography
Noe is a Ph.D. candidate in the Security Studies program at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs, advised by Prof. Gary Bass and Prof. Jacob Shapiro. Her dissertation research examines the determinants of humanitarian access in conflict zones, with a focus on the interaction between international actors and local groups. The project aims to contribute to civilian risk reduction and peace building. She is also more broadly interested in human rights, multilateralism, and consequences of foreign intervention.
Prior to her doctoral studies, she worked as the data analyst for the International Organization for Migration (UN Migration) in South Sudan, specializing in humanitarian surveys and population tracking. Her primary project at IOM was the urban component and statistical design of the inter-sectoral needs assessment (ISNA; formerly FSNMS+), a country-wide data collection exercise to inform the annual Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and Response Plan (HRP).
She received an M.Phil. in Politics from Oxford University as a Kobe Scholar (2020) and a B.A. in History and in International Relations from Boston University (2018).
