Along with being a world famous and highly respected performing artist, he is now a visiting fellow at Brown University in the Department of Africana Studies. On August 5, 2010, Jean filed for candidacy in the 2010 Haitian presidential election, although the Electoral Commission subsequently ruled him ineligible to stand as he had not met the requirement to have been resident in Haiti for five years.
