Yale Jackson's core faculty hold joint appointments across the university — in economics, history, political science, anthropology, and beyond — bringing rigorous, multidisciplinary scholarship to bear on key problems facing our world. 

Professors of Global Affairs lead the school's research agenda and teach its core curriculum, while a wider roster of lecturers, senior lecturers, professors in the practice, and visiting professors bring specialized, contemporary expertise in law, public health, international security, and journalism directly into the classroom. 

Beyond these core teaching faculty, Jackson's research community includes faculty from across Yale and beyond who supervise the capstone projects of Global Affairs majors, visiting researchers in residence completing book projects, and postdoctoral scholars advancing new research. Together, they make Jackson a hub of world-leading scholarship on the questions that matter most.
