Grace Connors (she/her) is the 2024 Scoville Peace Fellow with ReThink Media. As a fellow, Grace provides support to the Peace and Security team on both the anti-militarism and nuclear portfolios. Given her background in computer science, Grace has an additional emphasis on projects overlapping with the Research and Analysis team, including assisting with in-house polling and media audits.
Grace graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2023, where she majored in computer science and peace studies. Her role as a digital peacebuilder has led her to a diverse array of experiences across sectors and countries, including work in effective philanthropy and start-ups in the US, social impact technology in Ireland, anti-genocide advocacy in Rwanda, and farming monitoring and analysis in Ghana. The underlying theme of her work is a passion for working for the common good through a tech-enabled peacebuilders lens, which is what has brought her to ReThink.
In her free time, Grace enjoys working on her research project, exploring new places, and picking up new hobbies.
