CONTINUING EDUCATION FACULTY
Our faculty include some of the most prominent professionals and esteemed practitioners in
global affairs today. Their experience spans the breadth of the field—from current and former
senior officers of the UN to diplomats, activists, economists, and energy experts. Take a look
around New York City and you see the work of NYU’s faculty in action. Many have served on special
assignments abroad, including peacekeeping missions, election monitoring, sanction enforcement, and
the advancement of women’s rights. You will find that interaction with our faculty does not end in
the classroom. As innovators with an active role in the international community, instructors share
their expertise through advisement, mentoring, conferences, and professional networking.
