Henry Barrett’s journey to Budapest and Prague, where he is spending the year on a Fulbright Schuman grant, began in a Robertson Hall bowl in November of 2018.A few days earlier, Russia’s coast guard had fired on three Ukrainian Navy ships in the Kerch Strait, just off the Crimean Peninsula. SPIA convened a panel discussion on the incident, and one of the panelists was Anatoly Antanov, Russia’s ambassador to the United States. Henry Barrett, then a Princeton freshman, sat in the audience, enraptured by the stimulating conversation he was watching.
