Classes in each area of inquiry are designed and taught by Draper's faculty fellows. Faculty fellows are the assistant professors of the Program. These talented younger scholars are selected from national searches and maintain residence in the Draper Program for three years. Faculty fellows teach, advise students, supervise research, and keep the program operating at the vanguard of current interdisciplinary scholarship.

For a list of publications by Draper's current and former faculty fellows, please see our Faculty Publications page (to come).

Master teachers oversee each area of inquiry. Senior members of the Faculty of Arts and Science with strong commitments to interdisciplinary scholarship, master teachers play an important role in shaping the Draper Program. In addition to teaching courses and advising students, master teachers provide curricular guidance and information about the Graduate School's other resources.

Outstanding faculty from other departments and programs in the Graduate School of Arts and Science participate in the six areas of inquiry. Professors from the Programs in Africana Studies and American Studies and the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, Cinema Studies, Comparative Literature, Computer Science, English, Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History, Journalism, Performance Studies, Philosophy, Physics, Politics, and Sociology all regularly teach in the program, but in any given semester any discipline in the Graduate School may be represented by the Draper Program faculty. Additionally, the Program frequently invites visiting scholars with particular expertise to teach for a semester or longer. In this way the Program can consistently incorporate into its curriculum superior faculty and exciting courses.
