The Award

The Hilary Rodham Clinton Award for Peace and Reconciliation, given by Queen's University Belfast, provides a full tuition-fee waiver to an exceptional female student from the USA who wishes to pursue study in a field related to politics, conflict transformation, or human rights. Passionate about the intersection of politics, religion and its implications for intra- and international peace, Barnett will pursue a Master of Arts in Violence, Terrorism and Security at Queen’s that provides students with a critical and analytical approach to the study of the use of political violence and terrorism in history and the contemporary world. Caroline was also selected for a Fulbright Study/ Research Award to Israel.

At Baylor

Caroline earned her BA in University Scholars, concentrating in political science and philosophy with a minor in legal reasoning and analysis. Barnett’s academic focus has been on addressing the growing political division in the United States and the experiences of disenfranchised communities in large-scale politics.
