Alexander M. Crenshaw Professor of Public Policy

Dr. Whitford’s work examines how innovation, strategy, and leadership in organizations—particularly organizations where business and government intersect—promote sound governance and stable economies.

“The private support I receive through my endowed professorship helps to employ outstanding graduate students studying to be the future leaders and scholars in government and public policy. It also enables my own critical research and scholarship, including the work that produced my recent coauthored book, which won three major international book awards.”
