Asha Rangappa is a lawyer, scholar, media commentator, and public thought leader whose work sits at the intersection of law, national security, and ethics and leadership. She has held senior administrative and teaching roles at Yale University for nearly two decades, including as Associate Dean at Yale Law School and Senior Lecturer and Assistant Dean at the Jackson School of Global Affairs, where she advised deans on governance and strategy, helped guide institutional growth during periods of transition, and teaches courses on national security law, Russian information warfare, and leadership and ethics.

Prior to Yale, Asha served as a Special Agent in the New York Division of the FBI, specializing in counterintelligence investigations. She is the author of The Freedom Academy, a bestselling online Substack publication that explores how to create democratic resilience in America’s social fabric, and the co-host of the legal podcast, It’s Complicated, with Renato Mariotti. Her current book project, UNCOMPROMISED: Activating Your Moral Compass in an Age of Complicity, will be published by Bloomsbury in 2028.

Asha graduated cum laude from the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study constitutional reform and U.S. drug policy in Bogotá, Colombia. She received her law degree from Yale Law School where she was a Coker Fellow in constitutional law and served as a law clerk to the Honorable Juan R. Torruella on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Asha is a former legal and national security analyst for CNN and ABC News, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and other outlets.
