Biography
Yosef Bukhari received his Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences in Political Science from the University of Ottawa in 2021 and his Master of Arts in International Affairs from the George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs in 2023. He is currently working as a Political Officer at the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C.
As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, Yosef plans to continue his research in international relations with a research focus on nuclear deterrence and nuclear force structuring. He hopes that his research will provide a step, no matter how small, toward nuclear disarmament.
Also passionate about art and literature, Yosef founded the Abqar Art Collective—an Arab art collective based in Saudi Arabia whose goal is to hone its members' artistic talents, create an environment that stimulates creativity in various art media, and encourage interdisciplinary artistic collaboration.
