Eric Stokan
I am the acting Director of the Center for Social Science Scholarship (CS3) at UMBC and an associate professor of political science in the Department of Political Science. I serve as affiliate faculty to the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University and to the Metropolitan Government and Management Lab (MGMT) at the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington, where I am also the co-director.
My research examines how local governments prioritize economic development, community development, environmental policy, and social equity. Additionally, my research evaluates the impact of public policies on economic growth, social equity, and health-related outcomes.
I have recently completed several evaluations of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with colleagues from the University of Idaho and Cleveland State University. Additionally, I am studying alternative cost-efficient mechanisms to mitigate the likelihood of childhood Elevated Blood Lead Level exposure through a HUD Technical Studies grant with the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University.
My research has been featured most recently in Public Administration Review, Public Performance & Management Review, Urban Affairs Review, Review of Policy Research, State and Local Government Review, and Economic Development Quarterly.
