Meet the SPA Faculty

We’re proud of our faculty — prominent scholar-practitioners whose expertise and leading-edge research play vital roles in policy development, both nationally and globally. They comprise some of our nation’s foremost experts, crafting solutions to critical issues in politics and governance, public policy and administration, justice, law, and criminology. Through our renowned research centers, their scholarship is shared with the greater Washington community, across the nation, and around the world.

100 published academic journal articles written by SPA faculty in 2015-16, up from 57 in 2013-14, despite only adding four new faculty members.
