Long Bio
Gordon E. Shockley is an associate professor of social entrepreneurship in the School of Community Resources and Development at Arizona State University. He earned his doctorate in public policy at George Mason University’s School of Public Policy in 2006. Before returning to academia, he utilized his master's degree in management from Northwestern University’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management (1998) in working for all levels of American government, including the finance division of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the budget offices of Milwaukee County, Kentucky and Missouri. He also earned a master's degree art history at Arizona State University and a bachelor's degree with high honors in Ancient Greek and English literature from University of California-Los Angeles. His teaching and research interests concentrate on building the field of non-market entrepreneurship (specifically, social and policy entrepreneurship) as well as contributing to public policy modelling and the politics, economics, and sociology of the arts and humanities.
Shockley publishes his research in many social-science journals, including Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Journal of Arts Management, Law & Society, Public Administration Review, and Journal of Social Entrepreneurship. He also has produced many book chapters and an edited book, "Non-market Entrepreneurship: Interdisciplinary Approaches" (2008, Edward Elgar) and has recently submitted two new book projects.
He has served as chair and board member for several terms of the Social Entrepreneurship and Enterprise section of ARNOVA as well as board member of the Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations Section of APSA. He currently serves on the board of Social Theory, Politics and the Arts as well as on the editorial board of the journal Artivate: A Journal of Entrepreneurship in the Arts.
