He currently serves on the faculty of Temple University, where he is Assistant Professor of Political Science and a faculty fellow in the Public Policy Lab (PPL).

His work has been published in the Journal of Urban Affairs, Perspectives on Politics, Urban Affairs Review, and is forthcoming in Public Integrity.

Professor Crawford received his doctorate (and M.A.) in Political Science from The Ohio State University and has a B.A. in the same discipline from Howard University.

Casey Foundation. In addition, he has certificates in survey research, social enterprise development, and non-profit management and leadership. Prior to joining Temple, he was a pre-doctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
