Academic career

Education

Farer earned his bachelor's degree from Princeton University, graduating summa cum laude. He then received his juris doctorate from Harvard University's Law School.[2] Following law school, Farer worked as a senior research fellow of the Carnegie Foundation and the Council on Foreign Relations.[1][3]

As an academic, Farer is considered an expert on international relations as well as international politics and law. He has previously held faculty positions at Cambridge University, American University, Tulane Law School, Harvard Law School, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, Rutgers University and Columbia Law School.[2]
