David Shorr
Program Officer 563-264-6855
David Shorr has been a program officer at the Stanley Foundation since 2000. The results of two recent projects led by Shorr have been published as edited volumes. Together with former foundation colleague Michael Schiffer, he co-edited Powers & Principles: International Leadership in a Shrinking World (Lexington Books), in which top experts consider what steps pivotal powers could take to build a stronger rules-based international order. Bridging the Foreign Policy Divide (Routledge) is a collection of bipartisan essays co-edited with Derek Chollet and Tod Lindberg. From 1986-2000, Shorr worked in Washington on a range of subjects including arms control, humanitarian crisis response, conflict resolution, and human rights. Over those years, he was an advocate with Human Rights First, Refugees International, Search for Common Ground, British American Security Information Council, Arms Control Association, and Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Shorr is a contributor to the foreign policy blog Democracy Arsenal and a frequent guest in the TPM Café Book Club. He has published essays in the journals Survival, Policy Review, Foreign Service Journal, Connecticut Journal of International Law, and Helsinki Monitor and opinion pieces in more than a dozen major newspapers, including regular contributions to the Des Moines Register. He is a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and serves on the board of Citizens for Global Solutions.
Shorr received his B.A. from Brown University and masters in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. A lifelong fan of pop music, Shorr has appeared three times on NPR's World Café, when host David Dye has selected sets of songs he submitted to the show's "Top 5" feature.
