Giovanni Maggi joined Yale this fall as professor of economics and international
affairs. Thomas Pogge will come to the University in the fall of 2008 as professor
of philosophy and international affairs.
Maggi came to Yale from Princeton University where he was professor of economics.
His research and teaching interests include international trade, political economy
and industrial organizations. He has written numerous articles for a variety
of economics publications, including The American Economic Review, Journal of
Political Economy, International Economic Review and The Quarterly Journal of
Economics. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University.
Pogge is a philosopher and professor of political science at Columbia University.
He has published widely on Kant and in moral and political philosophy, including
books on Rawls and global justice. His book “World Poverty and Human Rights” is
widely regarded as one of the most important works on global justice. He is editor
for social and political philosophy for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
and is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science. He holds adjunct professorial
appointments in the Australian National University Centre for Applied Philosophy
and Public Ethics and the Philosophy Department of the University of Oslo. Pogge
received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Harvard.
“The international, interdisciplinary professorships are unique in that
faculty from throughout the University were consulted in identifying top scholars
who can hold cutting-edge joint professorship appointments between arts and science
departments and/or professional schools and departments,” said Ian Shapiro,
the Henry R. Luce Director of the MacMillan Center. “The work of both Maggi
and Pogge dovetails nicely with one of the substantive areas — justice
and distribution — on which the center is focusing its research initiatives.”
The MacMillan Center is Yale’s focal point for encouraging and coordinating
teaching and research on international affairs, societies and cultures around
the world.
