Academic career

She served on the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School from 1989-1994 and then on the faculty of Harvard Law School before moving to Princeton in 2002. She is married to Andrew Moravcsik, who teaches in Princeton's Department of Politics. They have two children, Edward Moravcsik and Alexander Moravcsik.

Since becoming dean of the Woodrow Wilson School in 2002, she has been credited with vigorously rebuilding Princeton's international relations faculty, including hiring a bevy of well-respected, left of center academics including Robert Keohane, Helen Milner, and G. John Ikenberry, as well as retaining or hiring influential right-of-center scholars including Aaron Friedberg and Thomas Christensen, who is currently on a public service leave from the School as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.

Slaughter is an influential proponent of the use of international relations theory in international law. She has published two books on international relations and dozens of articles, both in scholarly journals and in mainstream publications. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves as a director on the Council's Board. From 2002-2004 she served as president of the American Society of International Law. From 2004-2006 she served as co-director of the Princeton Project on National Security. In November 2006 she was chosen to chair the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Democracy Promotion.

In the 1980s Slaughter was part of the team headed by Abram Chayes that helped the Sandinista government of Nicaragua bring suit against the United States in the International Court of Justice for violations of international law. (See Nicaragua v. United States).

Slaughter also serves on the Advisory Board of the National Security Network and the Brookings Doha Center.

Controversies

In late 2005 over 100 Princeton students and faculty signed an open letter to Slaughter and Princeton president Shirley Tilghman criticizing the University in general and the Woodrow Wilson School in particular of biasing selection of invited speakers in favor of those supportive of the Bush administration. [ [http://www.princeton.edu/~dands/letter Open Letter to President Shirley Tilghman, Dean Anne-Marie Slaughter, and the Princeton Community ] ] Slaughter responded to these claims by pointing to the dozens of public lectures by independent academics, journalists, and other analysts that the Wilson School hosts each academic year. [ [http://www.wws.princeton.edu/events/webmedia.html] ] Others noted that, with Bush's Republican Party controlling the Presidency and both houses of Congress, many of the most influential people in the federal government, and in the international relations apparatus in particular, were necessarily administration supporters.

In 2003 the Woodrow Wilson School hosted an art exhibit titled "Ricanstructions" that opponents of the exhibit claimed was "anti-Catholic" and desecrated Christian symbols. Slaughter defended the exhibit. [ [http://prince-web1.princeton.edu/archives/2003/05/14/news/8223.shtml The Daily Princetonian - Forum looks at controversy over Wilson School exhibit ] ]
