The Miller Family Lecture with Asha Rangappa: Preserving Democracy in the (Dis)Information Age

Asha Rangappa is a Yale professor and former FBI agent who appears frequently on national media as a legal and security analyst.

Prior to her current position as Senior Lecturer at Yale University’s Jackson School of Global Affairs, Rangappa was Associate Dean at Yale Law School and served as a Special Agent in the New York Division of the FBI, specializing in counterintelligence investigations. Rangappa has been a legal and national security analyst for CNN and ABC News, and has also appeared frequently on MSNBC and BBC. She is an editor for Just Security, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and a Security Fellow with the Truman National Security Project. At Yale, Rangappa teaches courses on national security law, Russian information warfare, and leadership and ethics. She is the author of The Freedom Academy, a bestselling online Substack publication about disinformation and its impact on democracy, and she also co-hosts the legal podcast, It’s Complicated, with Renato Mariotti.

Noting that “Rangappa’s humor and intellect have won her a formidable following,” a recent magazine profile stated, “If you could invent a political commentator with bipartisan credibility, she might look like Asha Rangappa. . . . Rangappa knows from experience how the FBI handles Russian spies and disinformation; add to the mix her professorial skill at explaining complex ideas, and she is ideally positioned to break down the bewildering political events of recent years.”
