Todd is research faculty in the school of public policy. Todd is actively engaged in equity research with a particular focus on the fair, just and equitable management of public serving institutions and the fair and equitable distribution of public services.
Todd publishes and presents his findings widely and is aware that his research holds directly transferable insights and applications for public administrators. Todd is also aware that administrators within his own institution are not aware of his resource, nor does he see the insights of his research represented in the policies and practices of his institutional administrators. Todd resolves to advance the outcomes of his work in his own institution and reaches out to the Office of Institutional Diversity to share his goals and gather insight about how he may distribute his work to institutional stakeholders and connect with other faculty engaged in equity work.
- The Issue: Todd researches equity practices in public policy and has published on practices that numerous public institutions find useful in their own policy design and administration. Todd recognizes that the success of his research is not reflected at his own institution.
- The Deliberation: Todd connects with resources in the Office of Institutional Diversity to advise on sharing his work with the university administration and to form connections with other equity-minded faculty.
- The Growth: Todd finds a path to actualizing the success of his important research in his local context, as well as national and international contexts where his research is currently successful.
