Billy Ford

  • I'm on the Burma team at the U.S. Institute of Peace. I've worked on various elements of Burma's development for the past 10 years. At USIP, my work focuses on all sorts of peacebuilding-ish stuff - it really depends on what Burma is wrestling with at any particular moment, which is a lot right now.

  • My current work focuses on supporting various elements of the anti-coup resistance movement, including to local governance structures in liberated areas, various educational initiatives, and to this interesting new nation-building platform that also functions as a mechanism for building opposition unity.

  • Before USIP, I worked with Freedom House, The Asia Foundation, and a few other Burmese organizations. I lived in Burma for two years as Freedom House’s Country Representative and did stints in Vietnam and Malaysia before that.

  • I did a Master's in Public Policy at UC Berkeley (where my partner is about to start her PhD!), and my undergrad in Religious Studies from Hamilton College.

  • My non-Burma interests tend to meander, but I'm currently kinda interested in various elements of existential risk and the related policy challenges (highly recommend the 80,000 Hours Podcast!).

Susan Borke

  • Currently based in Washington, DC

  • I am happy to travel depending on the opportunity, and I have experience teaching international audiences of professionals. Regrettably, I speak only English.

  • My focus is on helping people learn how to ask for what they want and get what they need with more success and less stress. I am an adjunct professor, I am a volunteer instructor with Negotiation Works (see Melissa Reinberg below), and I provide training in negotiation skills to organizations that want to improve their bottom lines and increase employee engagement.

  • Interested in improving my own communication and teaching skills because I love seeing the light go on in someone's eyes when they learn a new concept or technique and immediately see how they can use it to achieve their goals in a negotiation.

  • I enjoy a mix of social and individual activities. For example, I like engaging with friends in small social gatherings over food, games, or shared experiences (like going to the theater). I enjoy solitary pursuits such as knitting and reading. I love to travel and connect with people where I am visiting; I hope to connect with some of you in person that way.
