A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Jamie Levine Daniel comes to Carleton University after spending three years on faculty at New York University and eight years at Indiana University Indianapolis with appointments in both the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Dr. Levine Daniel’s research interests focus on nonprofit resource acquisition and service delivery within a context of power, policy, process, and practice. Her work has appeared in Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Voluntas, Public Performance and Management, and the Journal of Public and Nonprofit Affairs. She has won research awards for her writing on antisemitism (from the Journal of Public Affairs Education) and the influence of the plantation’s fall on the nonprofit sector (Administrative Theory and Praxis). She works to address misconceptions about nonprofit identity, founding, overhead, and competition. Dr. Levine Daniel emphasizes the real world applicability of both her research and teaching, putting her expertise to good use co-founding and advising the Good Trouble Coalition Indiana, a grassroots group of healthcare and public health stakeholders advocating to improve life and health in Indiana
Prior to academia, Dr. Levine Daniel worked in Jewish communal service, primarily as a program associate in the international office of BBYO, Inc. and as a JDC Entwine Jewish Service Corps volunteer in Izmir, Turkey.
