Grace Miner

Grace Miner graduated from Columbia University in 2021, where she majored in Human Rights and specialized in History. Her undergraduate thesis focused on the use of grassroots truth-seeking processes to ensure accountability for past human rights abuses, referencing the first truth commission addressing racial injustice in a U.S. city, The Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission, as a case study. During her time at Columbia, she worked as a program assistant with the African American Redress Network, a collaboration between Columbia’s Institute for the Study of Human Rights, and Howard University’s Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center. She also served as an intern with the Post Conflict-Research Center located in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rhode Island General Assembly, and Congressman Jim Langevin’s Washington, D.C. Office. Grace recently completed her Master of Public Policy (MPP) degree at the University of Oxford and contributed to research on the international crime of aggression for the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict. She currently sits on the Board of Directors of Plan International USA, an international nonprofit organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.
