American University Faculty Experts On Why Change Can’t Wait

Global governance and world order. Higher education. Sports law. Race in the marketplace. Quantum information theory. Prevention of and disengagement from violent extremism. Race and representation in media. 

American University faculty are the leading experts in these essential fields of study (and more). AU scholar-teachers are finding solutions to the world’s most pressing issues and shaping the next generation of changemakers.  

Earlier this fall, we sat down with some of AU’s extraordinary faculty as part of our 60 Seconds with an AU Expert series to understand what is so critical about their work and what changes they think can’t wait.
