Routledge Journal Announces New Editorship for Journal of School Choice
Philadelphia, June 2014 – Taylor & Francis Group and Journal of School Choice are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Robert Maranto of University of Arkansas as the new Editor for the journal beginning January 2015.
Robert Maranto (B.S. Maryland 1980, Ph.D. Minnesota 1989) (rmaranto@uark.edu) is the 21st Century Chair in Leadership at the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas, and previously taught Political Science at Villanova and served in government in the Clinton years. With others he has produced 11 scholarly books which have sold dozens of copies and are so boring his own mother refused to read them, including President Obama and Education Reform, The Politically Correct University, and A Guide to Charter Schools. He is currently working on a book on Arizona charter schools, and a second book on KIPP. His more than 70 scholarly publications have appeared in journals including Phi Delta Kappan, The School Administrator, Social Science Quarterly, Education Next, and Public Administration Review, and his op-eds often appear in newspapers including the Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Baltimore Sun, and Philadelphia Inquirer. For three straight years Bob has made the “Rick Hess List” of most influential education policy researchers. He currently serves on the boards of three scholarly journals, as the book review editor of the Journal of School Choice, and on the Arkansas Advisory Committee of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. He played on the University of Minnesota’s 1987 national champion College Bowl team. Bob and his wife April report to their bosses Tony (b. 1999) and Maya (b. 2004), who attend traditional public schools. Bob has done fieldwork at roughly 200 public schools, and now serves on the unpaid board of a nonprofit cyber charter school, Achievement House.
The aim of the Journal of School Choice is to energize multi-disciplinary scientific analysis and policy discussion with key insights into the nature of every major version of school choice. Organizations start new Journals to help meet an under-served scholarly arena; to provide an outlet for academic research that deserves additional attention. Certainly, school choice is seeing growing attention as a key ingredient of reform strategies, and also as an arena in which to compare political accountability to market accountability.
