Adam Seth Levine is the SNF Agora Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management in the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins. Many questions pique his interest and excitement. The top ones are: “When do ordinary citizens become engaged in civic life, and with what impact?” and “How do people with diverse forms of expertise, such as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, collaborate to address problems?” He has published research findings addressing these questions in a variety of political science, public health, transportation planning, climate change, communication, law, and economics journals, as well as in one book entitled “American Insecurity,” published by Princeton University Press. His second book, tentatively entitled Collaborate Now! How Expertise Becomes Useful in Civic Life, is forthcoming.
