Professor Emeritus and former Jackson School Director Reşat Kasaba recently joined Jackson School Director and Stanley D. Golub Endowed Chair in International Studies Danny Hoffman on the Jackson School podcast in an interview marking Kasaba’s retirement after four decades at the Jackson School. He reflected on how the school’s interdisciplinary, non-policy approach, its increasingly diverse students, and its tight-knit community have prepared graduates for a changing world.
Professor Kasaba served as the Director of the Henry M. Jackson School (2010 -2020), Director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Near and Middle East Studies, 2004-10, 2015-16, 2023-24), President of the Association of Professional Schools of Public and International Affairs (2018-2020), and President of the Turkish Studies Association (2008-10), member of the Executive Board of the Middle East Studies Association (2015-18).
