Welcome to Dr. Dzordzormenyoh’s personal web page.

As a professor (assistant) of Political Science within the Department of Political Science and a Faculty Affiliate with the Center for African Studies at Kent State University, I have had the privilege of working in various academic capacities. Prior to my current position at Kent State, I held the role of Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science at Oklahoma State University. Additionally, I have served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Black Studies Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

After completing my undergraduate studies in Political Science and Linguistics at the University of Ghana, Legon-Accra, Ghana in 2011, I went on to earn my Master of Arts in Applied Politics (Campaigns & Elections) from the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics and the Department of Political Science at the University of Akron in 2014. In 2019, I completed my doctoral degree in Political Science with a focus on Public Policy/Administration and American Political Institutions from the University of South Dakota.

My research agenda principally focuses on social justice and public inequality, particularly in the Global South and occasionally in the United States, with a view to addressing these issues from three distinct vantage points: public policymaking, public policy administration, and public opinion on policymaking and administration. To carry out this research, I employ formal theory and qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate social justice and inequality concerns in various areas, such as criminal justice, immigration, healthcare, leadership, elections, and education.

My work has been published in respected, peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, American Journal of Criminal Justice, Policing: An International Journal, International Journal of Public Leadership, the Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, the Journal of International Migration and Integration, Deviant Behavior, the Journal of Criminology, Local Development and Society, Migration Letters, and the Journal of Global Health.
