Dr Olha Mukha Named a 2026 Delphi Statecraft and Imagination Fellow
Our co-founder Dr Olha Mukha has completed the 2026 Statecraft and Imagination Fellowship at Delphi Global Research Center, one of eight emerging Ukrainian leaders selected for the programme this year, alongside Anna Nishnianidze, Kateryna Kovalenko, Justin Esiobu, Hlib Dolianovskyi, Maksym Chebotarov, Roman Vydro and Alina Zubkovych.
The Fellowship opened with an intensive two-month online phase before the cohort travelled to Washington, DC for a two-week residency, from 3 to 14 August, co-hosted with the ASU Barrett & O'Connor Center. Days were built around sessions with U.S. government experts, academics and NGO leaders, alongside visits to the U.S. Capitol, the Department of State, the Embassy of Ukraine and PBS — working through analytical rigour, creative statecraft, and new approaches to complex geopolitical challenges.
Delphi Global credited the cohort's curiosity and commitment with bringing the programme to life, and singled out course director Sean Murray's leadership for making the residency possible. The residency itself has ended, but the Fellowship continues for four more months of structured mentorship, as each Fellow puts their thinking into practice within their home institutions — in Olha's case, carrying that work directly back into the museums network, PEN community, and Resilience & Reconstruction's own research.
