MGMT Science​

Metropolitan Governance and Management Transitions

Picture
Local government managers play a unique and often poorly understood role in responding to problems such as suburban sprawl, pollution, poverty concentration, and infrastructure decline. I am a social scientist and assistant professor in the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington. At O'Neill, I direct the Metropolitan Governance and Management Transitions (MGMT) Laboratory, which is focused on ways to build cumulative knowledge which can help local governments advance sustainable development.
​
My research has appeared in the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Administration Review, Urban Studies, Policy Studies Journal, Global Environmental Change and other outlets.  In 2018, I was awarded the Clarence Stone Scholar Award by the Local and Urban Politics section of the American Political Science Association. I have also watched state and local policy processes from different professional vantage points. Prior to changing careers, I worked as a government reporter for 15 years. During that time, I covered city councils, school boards, state legislatures and state and national political campaigns in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Florida for news organizations including The Kansas City Star, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Gannett News Service and the Orlando Sentinel.
