Douglas Rae, Richard S. Ely Professor Emeritus of Management, will present the following three lectures as part of Yale MacMillan Center’s Henry L. Stimson Lectures on World Affairs. Professor Rae came to Yale in 1967 as a junior faculty member in the political science department. He has had a distinguished career in research on political and economic systems. Rae is an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a former Guggenheim fellow, a one-time fellow of Stanford’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and a fellow of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study. In the late 1980s, Rae was chairperson of the political science department. Since 1991 he has also been a faculty member in Yale’s School of Management. He served as Chief Administrative Officer of New Haven city government in the early 90s, and authored City: Urbanism and Its End, using New Haven as a main case study. He is currently writing a book on American capitalism. That book’s primary theses form his 2019 Stimson Lectures.
