Submit a video card for Jane's eTribute! Professor Jane Mauldon earned her undergraduate degree from Oxford University in Politics, Philosophy and Economics and her Ph.D. from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, where she studied demography and public policy. She joined the Goldman School of Public Policy faculty in 1990, one of the first woman to do so. In her expansive and storied career, she taught and mentored hundreds of students who have gone on to impactful policy careers. In particular, Jane opened the door for younger generations of female graduate students and faculty, demonstrating the critical importance of having women at the policy-making table. Her substantive interests are in welfare policy and child and adolescent health, including children with disabilities and adolescent pregnancy. Her practice and policy-oriented research has focused on investing resources strategically to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of our society. A beloved instructor, she taught a wide range of public policy courses, especially health policy and economics, poverty and public policy, demography, and quantitative methods. She guided her students to develop an equity lens to examine how public policy could mitigate inequalities due to race, gender, and class. She was instrumental in designing the Goldman School's Masters in Public Administration program. In addition, she brought her keen intellect and collaborative approach to numerous service roles across campus in the last 30 years, including serving as Interim Director of the Institute for the Study of Societal Issues (ISSI), Chair of ISSI’s Faculty Advisory Committee since 2014 and chair of UC Berkeley’s Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects, since 2006.
