Weeks was born in a period marked by shifts in policy and institutional reform and received early schooling that connected local institutions with national academies. During formative years Weeks studied at leading centers of learning, including Harvard University, University of Oxford, and Stanford University, where interactions with faculty from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, and Yale University shaped analytical methods. Mentors and contemporaries included scholars associated with London School of Economics, Columbia University, and University of Cambridge, and Weeks completed advanced degrees under advisors linked to University of Chicago and University of California, Berkeley. Summers and research fellowships took Weeks to institutes such as Brookings Institution, RAND Corporation, and Hoover Institution, influencing later professional directions.
Weeks held appointments across academic, policy, and institutional settings, including roles at King's College London, New York University, and University of Pennsylvania. In government-adjacent capacities Weeks collaborated with agencies and commissions like United Nations, World Bank, and European Commission, and participated in advisory panels convened by United States Department of State and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. Project leadership included partnerships with Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Council on Foreign Relations, and International Monetary Fund, where Weeks contributed to program design, evaluation, and strategy workshops. Professional networks extended to editorial responsibilities for journals published by Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and Princeton University Press, and to conference panels at venues such as American Political Science Association, International Studies Association, and Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management. Weeks's work also involved collaborations with laboratory and research centers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Salk Institute on interdisciplinary initiatives.
Weeks authored and coauthored monographs and articles that appeared in outlets associated with Harvard University Press, MIT Press, and Yale University Press, addressing subjects that engaged readers from multiple professional communities. Major books often examined institutional change, policy design, and comparative analysis, drawing on case studies involving European Union, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Weeks contributed chapters to edited volumes alongside scholars from Princeton University, Columbia University, and Stanford University, and published empirical studies in periodicals affiliated with American Political Science Review, Journal of International Affairs, and Foreign Affairs. Notable contributions included methodological advances referenced by researchers at University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, and Duke University, and applied frameworks adopted by practitioners at World Health Organization, United Nations Development Programme, and Food and Agriculture Organization. Weeks's comparative historical analyses drew on archives from institutions such as British Library, National Archives (United Kingdom), and Library of Congress.
