Bryan Mann

Bryan Mann is an associate professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Kansas and founding director of CGEP. He received his Ph.D. in Educational Theory and Policy from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Mann’s research focuses on issues of geography and educational policy. This work revolves around a few simple questions with complex answers and profound implications: Where do children enroll in school, and what drives these trends? What policy mechanisms shape enrollment patterns to enhance educational and social equity? These motivating questions have led Dr. Mann to research several education policy areas, including enrollment patterns as they relate to segregation and diversity, school choice, and alternative models of education. Before joining the faculty at the University of Kansas, Dr. Mann was an assistant professor at the University of Alabama. He started his career as a high school language arts teacher at Communications High School in New Jersey.
