Director of Geography of Education Policy Analysis Lab
Associate Professor, Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies

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.
