This episode features an interview with Professor Susan Rose-Ackerman that was conducted by Nyché Andrew and Manasi Rao in New Haven, CT on April 3, 2025.

Professor Susan Rose Ackerman is one of the most influential scholars in the fields of law and political science; she is currently the Henry R. Luce Professor Emeritus of law and political science at Yale University. Born in 1942 in Mineola, New York, she began her career on a National Science Foundation fellowship, earning a PhD in Economics at Yale University in 1970. She worked for the Council of Economic Advisors in the Johnson and Nixon administrations, and she has held faculty positions at the University of Pennsylvania (1969-1974), Columbia University (1982-1987) and Yale University (1974-1982, 1987-present). Her research has been foundational to the study of corruption, the democratic accountability of the executive branch, and administrative law. Her groundbreaking book Corruption and Government has been translated into 17 languages and won the Charles H. Levine Prize. She is the author of eight additional books on topics including corruption, environmental policy, bureaucracy, and comparative public law. Over the years, her research interests have evolved from a focus on the American context to a comparative perspective, including field research in Eastern and Western Europe, Germany, and France.
