Three new faculty members hired

The Jackson School recently brought on three new faculty members, all of whom hold joint appointments with other Yale professional schools and FAS departments. This outstanding group of scholars includes Mayara Felix, an economist who specializes in economic development and international trade; Laura Robson ’09PhD, a scholar of international and Middle Eastern history; and Alden Young, a political and economic historian of Africa.

Jackson School campus expands

In early summer, the university completed renovations on Steinbach Hall, part of the Jackson School campus. The historic building on Hillhouse Avenue includes a community lounge and offices for Jackson School faculty and student-facing administrative staff. It is also home to the International Leadership Center. 

Work continues on T. M. Evans Hall, located at 56 Hillhouse Avenue. The building, which will house the dean’s suite and faculty offices, is slated to open in summer 2025.
