Student Spotlight: Mustapha Kharbouch ‘27
This past summer, Mustapha Kharbouch participated in CHRHS’s undergraduate student internship program at the International Crisis Group (ICG) in New York City. A third-year student at Brown, Mustapha double-concentrates in International and Public Affairs and Cultural Anthropology. When asked why they chose to pursue the internship opportunity with ICG, Mustapha highlighted their previous summer internship, where they conducted ethnographic research in the Anthropology department. After spending one summer gaining hands-on experience in academic research, Mustapha explained how they wanted to spend this summer instead trying out a 9–5 job in the international affairs sector. At the intersection of NGO research and advocacy work, Mustapha felt that ICG was the perfect fit and was additionally excited that the work would take place around the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

As a Palestinian refugee raised in Lebanon, Mustapha brought a deeply personal understanding of the humanitarian system to their work. Their background gave them both empathy and a critical eye for how international institutions like the UN operate—how they can transform lives, but also where they fall short. During a summer marked by overlapping global crises, Mustapha observed the UN grappling with mounting demands and limited resources due to funding cuts, yet also witnessed the persistence of individuals committed to doing good work in difficult times.
