Ngaire Tui Woods ( NY-ree; born 1962 or 1963) is the founding dean of the Blavatnik School of Government and professor of Global Economic Governance at the University of Oxford, formerly a professor at Harvard University. She founded the Global Economic Governance Programme (currently directed by Emily Jones) and is the co-founder (with Robert Keohane) of the Oxford–Princeton Global Leaders Fellowship programme.
As an accomplished academic and researcher, she specializes in global economic governance, globalization challenges, global development, and the role of international institutions. In addition, she writes monthly commentaries on economic and regulatory policy for Project Syndicate and was appointed by the G20 to the High Level Independent Panel on financing the global commons for pandemic preparedness and response.
Education
Woods was born in New Zealand. She attended Rangitoto College in Mairangi Bay, Auckland, where she was head girl in 1980. She then attended the University of Auckland where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and a Bachelor of Laws degree. She studied at Balliol College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, completing Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in international relations.
From 1990 to 1992, she was a junior research fellow at New College, Oxford, and subsequently taught at the Government Department at Harvard University before taking up her fellowship at University College, Oxford.
Career
Woods was named inaugural Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government in 2011. Her research focuses on global economic governance, the challenges of globalization, global development, and the role of international institutions.
Since 2013, Woods has written monthly commentaries on economic and regulatory policy for Project Syndicate, an international media organization.
In early 2021, Woods was appointed by the G20 to the High Level Independent Panel (HLIP) on financing the global commons for pandemic preparedness and response, co-chaired by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Lawrence Summers.
In late 2021, Woods attended the World Economic Forum's Great Narrative Meeting stating:
"The good news is the elites across the world trust each other more and more, so we can come together and design and do beautiful things together.
The bad news is that in every single country they were polling, the majority of people trusted their elite less.
So, we can lead, but if people aren't following we're not going to get to where we want to go"
She then went on to say:
“Tonight more European countries are going into lockdown just when they thought they had this pandemic nailed. Because guess what? You can’t nail it without addressing it across the whole world. So we’ve got this incredible opportunity while we’ve got people’s attention to reset. I think the big opportunity is to do a reset. A really fundamental reset.”
Personal life
Woods is married to the American-born, University of Oxford professor Eugene Rogan. They have two children together.
