Jamie Sackett is a graduate student in Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, whose work examines the structural, social, and political dynamics that drive contemporary conflicts and shape human vulnerability. With an undergraduate background in City, Urban, Community, and Regional Planning from Texas State University, she brings an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges community‑level analysis with global systems of governance and peacebuilding.
Jamie’s professional experience includes work as a Zoning and Permitting Intern with Paces, where she engaged in applied planning processes, and as a Journalism Intern for The Borgen Project. During her 12‑week journalism internship, she authored six published articles on issues related to international development, global health, poverty alleviation, and post‑conflict recovery, including analyses on food insecurity in Haiti, UN urban redevelopment in Mogadishu, global efforts to eliminate polio, innovations in desert agriculture, resilience in Libya’s higher education sector, and pathways toward reducing poverty in Colombia.
At The Roundtable Consortium, Sackett contributes to research design, podcast co‑hosting, and collaborative writing initiatives. Her interests include conflict transformation, global development policy, social systems, and the intersection between structural conflict and community resilience. She brings strong skills in writing, online journalism, and project management, supporting the Consortium’s mission to produce accessible, evidence‑informed analysis of global justice issues.
