William T. Jackson, PhD


​​​Researcher / Educator / Practitioner

About

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Askew School of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University's College of Social Science and Public Policy. Former Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Public Administration and Policy at American University’s School of Public Affairs. I earned my Ph.D. in Public Affairs from Florida International University. My research tests the explanatory power of various theories of public administration, such as political control of the bureaucracy, representative bureaucracy, intersectionality, and organizational socialization. Specifically, I am interested in whether these theories can help us understand disparities in public service delivery among social groups.

​My current work examines disparities in justice provision, policing, and education and has been published in Public Administration Review (PAR). “Justice in Black and Brown: The Impact of Political Control and Representative Bureaucracy on Street Level Outcomes” (2023) and “Feminine Leadership and Juvenile Justice Outcomes: The Florida Experience” (2024).

I worked with the FIU Jorge M. Pérez Metropolitan Center and the Urban League of Broward County. I am also the Founder and former Board President of The Justice Project of South Florida (JPSFL).
