About Joe Renouard

I'm a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Nanjing, China. My interests are somewhat eclectic. I teach courses on American history, government, and foreign policy, and I write about international human rights, American foreign policy, transatlantic relations, and US-China relations.
Joe Renouard is Resident Professor of American Studies and Fei Yi-Ming Journalism Foundation Chair of American Government and Comparative Politics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Nanjing, China.
