Kathy Quick, Ph.D., University of Minnesota

Kathy Quick is the Gross Family Chair and an associate professor of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, an academic co-director of the University-wide Center for Integrative Leadership, and a state specialist in leadership and civic engagement with University of Minnesota Extension.

Dr. Quick’s focus is bringing together people with diverse perspectives to work on high-stakes, complex, and often contentious public policy problems. Dr. Quick utilizes ethnographic research methods to identify practices and processes that improve or impede equity and inclusion. By studying practitioners doing their work, she gleans insights to build civic engagement skills and strengthen democracy.

Originally from rural Pennsylvania, Dr. Quick worked for eight years as an environmental advocate and policy analyst in Indonesia and then for six years as a community development manager for the City of Alameda and the City of Garden Grove. She holds a Ph.D. in planning, policy, and design from the University of California, Irvine, which recognized Dr. Quick as one of their top 50 graduate student alumni from the first 50 years of the university.
