BioParker Watt is the Baltic Studies Program Support Librarian at Stanford Libraries, where his responsibility is to assist with programming, event planning, and partnership development related to Baltic Studies.

While in Estonia, Parker was affiliated with the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies at the University of Tartu, where he continued to write and speak on developments in the Baltic region and the United States. Before his Fulbright project, Parker received his Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and a minor in Slavic Languages and Literature from Stanford.
