Brief Bio: |
| Dr. Megan E. Hatch is an associate professor of urban policy and city management in the Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. She has a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Public Administration from George Washington University, a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) from Cornell University, and a BA in government and psychology from Georgetown University.
Dr. Hatch studies the variation in policies within the US federalist system and the effects those disparities have on social equity, individuals, and institutions. Within this theme, she examines three policy areas: rental housing, state preemption of local laws, and the CDBG program. Her current research on rental housing focuses on eviction, energy insecurity, and state landlord-tenant laws. Her current research on state preemption focuses on the preemption of LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination laws. |
