Faculty Directory

They are the most vital element in shaping the culture and the values of the School of Public Policy. Of special interest is a view of teaching and scholarship which integrates instruction with research, focuses on the student, and makes informed, practical applications at all levels of planning and decision making. Documents, policies, and materials relevant to School of Public Policy faculty members and performance of their duties are available from the SPP Faculty and Staff Services Community website or the Office of the Dean at 310.506.7490.

A distinctive feature of the school is the use of distinguished public policy scholars and practitioners to augment its own full-time faculty and the faculty of the University's four other schools. This significant use of visiting scholars and practitioners, more widely accepted in a teaching professional school than in a research university setting, contributes to the distinctiveness of the Pepperdine program.  Visiting faculty have included policy leaders like Jack Kemp, Michael Novak, Steven Hayward, Hanna Skandera, Victor Davis Hanson, Karen Elliott House, and Kevin Faulconer.
