Chris Wilson


My name is Chris and I’m the research and analysis director at the Dr. Alon Ben-Meir Institute. I recently obtained my master's degree in international affairs at The New School in New York, writing a thesis on social movements in Kosovo. Previously, I held several positions in the public as well as nonprofit spheres. I earned my BA at Ithaca College with a degree in politics. The issues that are of great concern to me are democracy, revolutionary politics, the media, U.S. Foreign policy, and grassroots movements. I believe that universality should govern our daily as well as public lives.

Kosovo 2.0 is a Supreme Network Site that will serve as an interactive generator of stories, commentaries and documentations from Kosovo and the world. Kosovo 2.0 aims to fill in the information gap through a portal website that consistently documents and promotes the Kosovar youth, and a magazine that timely captures the rising generation of decision-makers in their current, ever-changing environment. Kosovo 2.0 will be the first state of affairs magazine that engages Kosovars in creating the framework and image through which Kosovo's youth will be documented locally and represented abroad.
