Susan Ostermann

Susan Ostermann is a professor at the University of Notre Dame, specializing in global affairs. She has been a faculty member since 2017 and is known for her advocacy of abortion access, having co-authored articles that challenge common perceptions about abortion and its safety. Recently appointed as the director of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, her appointment has sparked debate due to its contrast with Notre Dame's Catholic identity, which traditionally upholds anti-abortion views.
