Humanitarian Advisor

Biography

Jonathan Robinson is a specialist in multinational civilian-military interaction, conflict analysis, and human security. Jonathan has collaborated with numerous local, regional, and international humanitarian, civil society, and peace-building organizations for over 15 years, including spending nearly a decade working in conflict and post-conflict settings in the Middle East. He has supported Brown University’s Annual Civilian-Military Humanitarian Response Workshop and Research Symposium, the U.S. Naval War College’s Civilian Military Humanitarian Response Program, The Carter Center’s Syria Conflict Resolution Team, British and Swiss humanitarian NGOs, the United Nations Department of Safety and Security in Syria, and a British private security company in Iraq, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. In 2016, he founded Graduates in Security, an online platform dedicated to providing free resources to any student or graduate seeking a career in the security field. Since 2019, his research interests have focused on systems for civil-military interaction and the actions of assertive states in the humanitarian space. Jonathan is currently an assistant professor in the U.S. Naval War College’s International Programs Department and is a global fellow in his personal capacity.
