The Aspen Institute

Anne-Marie Slaughter is CEO of New America, a think and action tank dedicated to developing and applying the big ideas necessary for a new America to thrive. She previously served as a professor of international, foreign, and comparative law at Harvard Law School, where she ran the international legal studies program; dean of the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University; and director of policy planning for the United States Department of State — the first woman to hold that position. She has authored or edited nine books on foreign policy, global governance, work and family, and American renewal. Her 2012 article “Why Women Still Can’t Have It All” in The Atlantic became one of the magazine’s most-read pieces and reopened a debate on the ongoing obstacles to gender equality. She is a contributing editor to the Financial Times and a regular columnist for Project Syndicate. Slaughter received her BA from Princeton, an MPhil and DPhil in international relations from Oxford University, and a JD from Harvard Law School. She is a member of the Aspen Strategy Group.
