View the Jackson School Report 2020-2021
Message from the Director
I am delighted to share with you the latest Jackson Report, an annual sampling of our activities, new offerings and student and faculty research, honors and awards. The School has been engaged in a number of exciting initiatives even as students, staff and faculty once again rose to the challenges of working through the pandemic. We returned to hybrid work eager to continue our deep commitments to teaching, service and research.
In these endeavors, we came back with an invigorated commitment to public engagement and work that creates meaningful change in the world. As always, the School approaches this mission with a depth of understanding of global connections, historical context and local cultural and national specificities. I hope you enjoy reading this year’s report, and learning about our recent activities. I am grateful for your interest and continued commitment to the Jackson School and to the mission of global engagement.
