Research

My research focuses on issues of organizational behavior, sustainability of nonurban nonprofit organizations, and diversity within the nonprofit and public administration community (focusing specifically on LGBTQ and Jewish issues). My work has been featured in Journal of Social Service Research, Public Administration Review, Administrative Theory and Praxis and Journal of Social Work. I currently have several papers under review right now. My current research projects include:

  • Administrative homophobia.
  • Supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals in nonprofits.
  • Case studies of social equity in public and nonprofit organizations.

I write about current research into LGBTQIA+ communities and how this research can be used by nonprofits in my free weekly newsletter, The Queer Friendly Nonprofit. Read and subscribe here.
