Professor Stéphane Lavertu’s teaching and research focus on public administration, political economy, public policy analysis and evaluation, and education policy and governance. He and his collaborators launched the Education Governance and Accountability Project to examine how political actors and institutions affect the administration and performance of public schools.
His interdisciplinary research examines the politics of public administration and the performance of public organizations, particularly in the context of K-12 education. He publishes in public administration journals such as Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, Journal of Policy Analysis & Management and Public Administration Review; political science journals such as American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, and Journal of Politics; education journals such as Educational Evaluation & Policy Analysis and AERA Open; and economics journals such as Economics of Education Review, Journal of Public Economics, and Journal of Urban Economics.
Professor Lavertu regularly conducts such research in collaboration with state and local government agencies, as well as nonprofit think tanks such as the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
