CPCS Faculty

Ours is a diverse faculty of scholars. CPCS faculty reflect the diversity of perspectives necessary for the understanding of public and community services in an urban environment: we have faculty with degrees in psychology and social work; we have sociologists, philosophers, historians and economists; lawyers, architects, planners, documentary filmmakers, and experts on the education of adults. We even have an astrophysicist! Our faculty's research interests are diverse and, at the same time, united in that they focus on important issues of urban public policy, public and community service, and advocacy for disenfranchised groups. The diversity of these perspectives provides a rich and varied environment for learning.

Ours is a faculty of practitioners. CPCS faculty bring to the classroom a broad experience in professions and activism relevant to public policy and public and community service. Our faculty brings hands on experience in direct human services, in public and non-profit management, in organizing and community activism, in advocacy and legal work. Our links with community agencies as well add important dimensions to the wealth of experience available to students in our classrooms and in independent projects.
