Our Faculty and Fellows
Coming from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, our faculty and fellows are at the core of our efforts to understand democratic decline and resilience, and to identify actionable, evidence-based solutions to the challenges we face. Their process of collaborative academic discovery is the underpinning that enables us to examine these issues broadly and in context, and to engage in truly transformative inquiry. Our faculty offer expert insight into the issues of the day while providing exciting educational opportunities for Johns Hopkins students and community members. They are active participants in our campus events, as well as strong voices on the national and international stage.
