• About:


      Coby Waugh (’24) is a senior at Hunter College pursuing a Political Science major, Public Policy minor, and Spanish concentration within the Thomas Hunter Honors Program. His undergraduate research has largely focused on Cuba: he wrote his Political Science honors thesis analyzing the Cuban leadership’s decision to ally with the USSR, and he studied at the University of Havana for several months in 2023, during which time he explored the differences between the US and Cuban legal systems. In the summer of 2024, he returned to Havana to conduct archival research documenting the struggle for power between the PSP and M-26-7, the two leading leftist groups at the beginning of the Cuban Revolution. He plans to go to graduate school for International Relations.
