American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellows

Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the country’s most prestigious honorary societies and independent research centers. Designed as a forum for leading scholars to exchange ideas, the Academy remains an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to critical analysis of society’s most pressing problems. Its membership is drawn from across the disciplines of mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, medicine, the social sciences, humanities, business, government, public affairs, and the arts. Election to the Academy as a Fellow is extremely selective and denotes high achievement and accomplishment in cultivating the arts and sciences. Each year, the privilege of nominating new members is reserved to current Fellows. The Academy also grants honorary membership to a select number of foreign scholars.
