Two University of Virginia professors, one teaching at the School of Law and the other retired from the philosophy department, have been selected for membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the highest academic honors faculty can attain.
The academy last week announced the elections of law professor G. Mitu Gulati and Cora Diamond, who retired in 2002 as a professor in the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, plus 248 other new members. The new inductees also include 2009 UVA alumnus and New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, actor and director George Clooney and Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Gulati, whose work focuses on how to help countries in financial distress, is the Perre Bowen Professor of Law and the John V. Ray Research Professor of Law. He has written more than 200 scholarly articles, edited or written 10 books and is the cohost of the “Clauses & Controversies” podcast. He writes on a wide range of topics, from issues in mergers and acquisitions contracts, municipal debt, judging, the Supreme Court and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global financial system.
