Ken Masugi
Adjunct Fellow


Ken Masugi is a Visiting Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. He is the former director of the Center for Local Government at the Claremont Institute. Prior to joining the Claremont Institute, he served as Senior Coordinator of Academic Affairs at the State Council of Higher Education in the Commonwealth of Virginia and as a Visiting Associate Professor of Political Science and Senior Fellow at the John M. Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University.

He has also taught at Princeton University, the United States Air Force Academy, California State, the University of California at Irvine, Harvey Mudd College, and the James Madison College at Michigan State University.

Before teaching, he was a Special Assistant to two successive directors of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Clarence Thomas and Evan Kemp. Dr. Masugi earned his Ph.D. and M.A. at the New School for Social Research in New York, and studied at the University of Cologne under a Fulbright-Hays Scholarship.

Dr. Masugi’s publishing accomplishments include editing Interpreting Tocqueville’s "Democracy in America" and co-editing Japanese-American Internment, The American Founding, The Supreme Court and American Constitutionalism. He continues to work on Reconstituting American Citizenship, a critique of multiculturalism’s attack on the American political tradition.
