Irene Mulvey

Professor Irene Mulvey is president of the American Association of University Professors and a vice-president of the American Federation of Teachers. She was elected to that office in June 2020 on a platform that, among its priorities, pledged to begin to reckon with institutional racism in the AAUP and in the academy. Under her leadership, the AAUP has implemented a racial equity initiative involving elected leadership and staff with the ambitious goal of permanent, structural, and organizational change and a shift toward viewing all the Association’s work through a racial equity lens.
Dr. Mulvey was a professor of Mathematics at Fairfield University from 1985 to 2020.
