“Both of these appointments provide me with unique opportunities to further the evidence base in collaborative environments,” Bullinger said. “I am looking forward to contributing to the field and advancing our understanding of which policy interventions work."

At the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities, Bullinger will conduct anti-poverty randomized control trials in Georgia. For example, working with an organization dedicated to ending intergenerational incarceration, she will evaluate the effects of a program for children with an incarcerated parent.

Bullinger is one of 35 members on the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management’s editorial board. The journal is one of the flagship publications in the field of public policy.
