From 2010 to 2013, she directed the Center for Culture and Security at the Institute of World Politics, Washington, D.C.
“On behalf of all those associated with the AHI, we would like to welcome Dr. Pilon to the AHI,” said AHI President Richard Erlanger. “We are pleased to add yet another outstanding scholar to our organization.” “Dr. Pilon has an inspiring record defending the values of Western culture, and her scholarship indicates values and principles that are most compatible with the AHI’s mission,” stated AHI Charter Fellow Robert Paquette.
Dr. Pilon earned her PhD in philosophy from the University of Chicago.

Her anthology on civic education, Ironic Points of Light, was published in Estonian and Russian in 1998. She has also helped write and edit a textbook on civic education used, in country-specific versions, throughout Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, endorsed by the Departments of Education in those countries. Over the years she has published more than two hundred articles and reviews on international affairs, human rights, literature, and philosophy and has made frequent appearances on radio and television.
