Catherine A. Lugg
Profile Interests C.V.  
 

Photo of Catherine Lugg Many years ago, the political scientist Harold Lasswell stated that politics is the process of determining "who gets what, when and how." In light of Laswell's observation, I study how politics shapes public education; that is "who gets what sort of education, when and how." I am particularly interested in how political ideology influences educational provision within the US.
