Tom Rudd Email & Phone Number

I joined the staff of the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in 2004 and retired from The Ohio State University in 2014. In my capacity as Director of Education and Emerging Research I was responsible for expanding the Institute’s research agenda on issues related to educational opportunity and envisioning and energizing new research in criminal justice, implicit bias and health/health care with a focus on the social determinants of health. I received a Bachelor of Science in sociology and a Master of Science in higher education, student affairs from Iowa State University and I have pursued doctoral study in educational policy and leadership at The Ohio State University. Prior to joining the staff at the Kirwan Institute I served on the professional staff of the Ohio Board of Regents where I directed the Department of State Grants and Scholarships and then served as Director of Student Financial Access in the division of educational linkages and access. I have worked extensively on issues related to strategies for improving access to higher education and the quality of preK-12 education. I have written extensively on issues related to racialized structural and cognitive barriers to opportunity with an emphasis on the causes and consequences of implicit racial bias.
