He has a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin, a master’s degree in education policy analysis and evaluation from Stanford University, and a bachelor’s degree in political science from The Ohio State University.

His interdisciplinary research examines the politics of public administration and the performance of public organizations.

He publishes in public administration journals such as Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, Journal of Policy Analysis & Management, and Public Administration Review; political science journals such as American Journal of Political Science and Policy Studies Journal; education journals such as Educational Evaluation & Policy Analysis and AERA Open; and economics journals such as Journal of Urban Economics, Economics of Education Review, and Journal of Law, Economics, & Organization.

Professor Lavertu teaches courses on public policy, education policy, public administration, and research design in the college’s bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs.

He is passionate about conducting policy-relevant research, particularly to help improve public education here in Ohio. He regularly conducts such research in collaboration with state and local government agencies, as well as non-profit think tanks.
