Jeremy Levine is an assistant professor of organizational studies and sociology at the University of Michigan. In general, his work focuses on questions of politics, organizations, and inequality in US cities. He has published articles on the political role of nonprofits in poor neighborhoods, cultural processes and inequality in participatory democracy, and the relationship between neighborhood racial composition and an important, but under-studied political behavior: contacting government for basic city services.Jeremy's first book, based on four years of ethnographic fieldwork in Boston, describes the changing structure of urban governance and the increasingly fuzzy boundary separating private nonprofits from public policy.Before joining the faculty at Michigan, Jeremy earned an AM and PhD in sociology at Harvard University and was a doctoral fellow in the Inequality and Social Policy Program at the Harvard Kennedy School.
