Michael D. Siciliano
Networks and Collaborative Governance
I am a Professor and Director of Graduate Studies for the PhD program in the Department of Public Policy, Management, and Analytics at the University of Illinois Chicago. I currently co-direct the Networks and Governance Lab and am an Associate Editor at the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.
My work focuses on human and organizational collaboration. In particular, I am interested in how actors work together to solve complex policy problems that cross political and functional boundaries. You can read more about the questions I work on in Research. This research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Transit Administration, and USAID.
I currently teach doctoral and masters courses on network analysis, data analysis, program evaluation, and collaborative governance, and syllabi for each are available on the Teaching page. My teaching has been recognized with UIC’s Teaching Recognition Award (2016 and 2021), the Silver Circle Teaching Award (2018), and the Honoring Our Professors’ Excellence (HOPE) Award (2017).
My masters degree is in Public Policy and Management from the Heinz School at Carnegie Mellon University. I received my PhD in Public Policy and Administration from the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh.
