ABOUT THE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
This is a double-delegate committee.
The world’s nations continue to navigate the lasting effects of colonialism while facing new forms of foreign political and economic interference. In regions such as Africa, countries are exploring ways to reclaim control over their resources and economies, often using nationalization of key industries as a tool to combat historic and ongoing inequities. In this committee, delegates will confront the complex legacies of colonialism, address modern external pressures, and debate how strategies like nationalization can shape a more equitable and independent path for global development.

Madison is part of the class of 2027 here at Boston University studying International Relations with a minor in Political Science with tracks in the Middle East and North Africa and Foreign Policy and Security Studies. Madison is originally from Manhattan Beach, California, a beach town in Los Angeles. Her first experience with MUN was as a freshman in high school when she joined her high school’s introductory team, then later joined their advanced team.
Since coming to BU, Madison has been involved in MUN@BU, BosMUN, and BarMUN, obviously. Outside of Model UN, Madison is a member of the pre-law society and holds an officer position in her sorority Gamma Phi Beta.
With her very little free time, Madison loves going to corepower with friends, trying new coffee shops in and around Boston, and hosting dinner parties. Additionally, she loves to travel and is looking forward to traveling abroad in the future. She hopes to attend law school in Los Angeles after graduating from Boston University. Madison is so excited to be one of the USGs for this BarMUN and help create an amazing conference weekend!!
