Faculty of H&S
Our faculty are Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners. They are internationally acclaimed artists and pioneering scientists. They are inventors, scholars, poets, and diplomats.
They take risks, ask difficult questions, and search for answers. They reflect deeply on the human condition. And they pursue groundbreaking research that could change the world as we know it today.
Every day, they teach Stanford students to do the same—and more. Whether in the classroom or the lab, in the field or the studio, they challenge students to think critically and push boundaries.
Our faculty not only educate but also inspire the next generation of leaders. It is through this inspiration that they make their greatest mark on the future.
