Nathasha Fernando is a PhD candidate at the Centre d’études du religieux contemporain, Faculty of Law, Université de Sherbrooke. She is also a Junior Fellow at the South Asia Democratic Forum, where she brings together experts from Sri Lanka and across South Asia through podcasts.
Her writing has appeared in the Stimson Center’s South Asian Voices, The Diplomat, Global-is-Asian, and Pacific Forum, where she is a Young Leader.
She developed interests in opening up national security/defense/development related issues in Sri Lanka to the francophone world through OBOREurope and Global Connectivities.
