Darren H. Lubotsky

Darren Lubotsky joined the IGPA faculty in August 2008. He has been a faculty member at the Urbana-Champaign campus since 2002, holding appointments in the Department of Economics and the School of Labor and Employment Relations.

Lubotsky will focus his research on the economic impact of social policy issues, particularly education and immigration.

“My research is aimed at answering important, policy-relevant questions,” he said. “IGPA will provide new opportunities for me to interact with scholars and policy-makers with whom I share common interests. It is the only unit at the University of Illinois dedicated to generating and disseminating research to improve public policy.”

Lubotsky received his BA from Washington University in St. Louis and his PhD from the University of California-Berkeley in 2000.
