Janne E. Nolan (28 December 1951 – 26 June 2019) was an American academic, foreign policy advisor, and expert on nuclear arms control and nonproliferation. [5] She held senior positions in the Department of State, as a staffer for the Senate, and served on multiple blue ribbon commissions. [10] She was well known for supporting generations of women in the traditionally male dominated field of nuclear security. [7] [9] [11]
Janne Emilie Nolan was born on 28 December 1951 to James and Margaret "Maggie" Claughton Nolan, both American citizens, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. [5] Her parents divorced when she was four. Nolan's mother moved her and her sister to London three years after the divorce, before settling in the United States when Janne was 12. [5]
Nolan attended Antioch College where she majored in political science and foreign languages, and earned a BA degree in 1974. [4] [1] She earned her ( MA) in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University where she also went on to attain her PhD. Her doctoral dissertation focused on the military industries in Taiwan and South Korea. From 1980 to 1982, Nolan was a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Stanford University Center for International Security and Cooperation. Nolan was one of only four women—along with Cindy Roberts, 'Condi' Rice, and Gloria Duffy—with CICAS fellowships at the time. Aware of their position as the only women in the program, they took to calling themselves "the fellowettes". [12] [5] [13]
The Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies named a writing contest on international security in her honor. [14]
Gavin said he became friends with Nolan when she wrote a "generous" review of a book he published. He said wrote her a letter thanking her for the review, sparking a friendship.
