Macedo joined the Princeton faculty in 1999 as the Laurance
Rockefeller Professor of Politics and the University Center
for Human Values.
"I am delighted that Professor Macedo has accepted this
appointment," said President Tilghman, "and I am certain
that he will provide superb leadership for the University
center."
Macedo studies topics in political theory, ethics,
American constitutionalism and public policy, with an
emphasis on liberalism and its critics, and the roles of
civil society and public policy in promoting citizenship. He
chairs the Princeton Project on Universal Jurisdiction,
which has formulated principles of international law to
guide national courts seeking to prosecute human rights
violations. From 1999 through 2001, he served as founding
director of Princeton's Program in Law and Public
Affairs.
Macedo also has taught at Harvard University and at the
Maxwell School at Syracuse University. He earned a
bachelor's degree at the College of William and Mary,
master's degrees at the London School of Economics and
Oxford University, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at
Princeton.
The University Center for Human Values supports teaching,
research and discussion of ethics and human values
throughout the curriculum and across the disciplines.
