Khan, who previously served as a contributing editor for the South Asia program’s South Asian Voices publication, brings additional expertise on counterterrorism and nonproliferation to a program already well-known for innovative approaches to the region’s pressing strategic challenges.
Elizabeth Threlkeld, Director of the South Asia program, said, “I couldn’t be happier to welcome Sahar to the team as our new Deputy Director. Her strong familiarity with the region and background in security issues will add depth to our analytical work.

“I am excited to be a part of Stimson Center’s South Asia program. I look forward to supporting the program’s mission of fostering dialogue, highlighting rising scholars and contemporary experts, and promoting stability within the region,” said Khan.
