Sebastian De Beurs
Sebastian De Beurs is an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a B.A. in Government and B.A. in Plan II Honors (class of 2019). His interest in the Foreign Service started when he was at an international high school in the Netherlands, engaging with people from across the globe. The different cultures and languages of his peers fascinated him, though the history and politics of their countries intrigued him most. Today, Sebastian spends his time studying and researching U.S. foreign relations, political economy, and international peace and development. This past summer, Sebastian traveled to the United Kingdom to study International Relations at the University of Cambridge. Learning about conflict and diplomacy in both historical and contemporary contexts convinced him of the importance of history in crafting U.S. foreign policy. Sebastian is excited to pursue this passion by contributing to the rich body of knowledge on diplomatic history at ADST.
