Kathleen Vogel has been appointed associate dean of faculty for Arizona State University’s College of Global Futures, a unit of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory.
“As a leader, Kathleen is dedicated to impact and innovation,” said Miki Kittilson, dean of the College of Global Futures. “I am absolutely delighted to have her support in this important role.”
Vogel will start her role June 16th, 2025 where she will work to advance faculty success across the College of Global Futures.
A professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, Vogel brings a depth of leadership and personal experience.
She previously served as interim school director in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society, and served on the University Promotion and Tenure Committee.
“I am happy to be able to help serve the College of Global Futures regarding a variety of faculty functions in this role,” said Vogel.
“My main goal is to be helpful to Dean Kittilson, be of service to the College of Global Futures faculty, and be faithful in carrying out the ASU Charter for our college.”
Vogel’s research focuses on the study of knowledge production on intelligence and security issues. Her PhD from Princeton University is in bio-physical chemistry. She has previously served as a Jefferson Science Fellow and a William C. Foster Fellow in the U.S. Department of State. She was also awarded a Rutherford Fellowship in the Defence and Security Programme at the Alan Turing Institute. She serves as an appointed member of the World Health Organization's Technical Advisory Group for the Health Security Interface.
Beyond her academic pursuits, Vogel enjoys dragonboating - which involves a 20-person canoe-type vessel decorated to resemble a dragon - on Tempe Town Lake with her Arizona Gila Dragons club.
“I look forward to helping Dean Kittilson achieve her mission and vision for the college, address faculty questions and needs, and working with the all-star College of Global Futures team,” Vogel said.
