Biography

Quinn Mulroy is a political scientist specializing in the study of racial equity policies and programs across educational, workplace, and housing settings. Her research employs a historical approach to explore political ideas surrounding equal opportunity and how these ideas have shaped policy implementation over time. Her forthcoming book, 'Agents of Justice: American Bureaucracy Mobilizes Private Lawsuits to Make Policy Work', examines the evolution of the litigation state and how it influences the enforcement of civil rights. Mulroy argues that the governance system is built on the strategic efforts of agency officials working to mobilize private legal action in a context where governmental capacities have been historically constrained. Her work includes an analysis of how agency officials have played a crucial role in sustaining and challenging private regulatory action. Mulroy's research has won several awards, including the Leonard D. White Dissertation Award from the American Political Science Association. She has published extensively in leading journals and has received fellowships from prestigious programs to support her work.
