Bio

Edgar C. Leduc, Ph.D.

Edgar C. Leduc (Ph.D., Indiana University, 1963) Professor. Professor Leduc taught at Pennsylvania State University with a joint appointment in the Institute of Public Administration and the Department of Political Science. There he served as Associate Director and in 1968 as Acting Director of the Center for Air Environment Studies at Penn State. Research in the CAES concerned arrangements for controlling air pollution in Pennsylvania and construction of air basins under the Clean Air Act. Professor Leduc joined the faculty of URI in 1969 and teaches courses in American state politics, scope and methods, research methodology, statistics, public administration and public policy. He later served as Acting Director of the Bureau of Government Research. 

In the past, Professor Leduc's research has concentrated on polling citizens on public policy, including a survey of attitudes relating to water pollution on New England lakes and a survey of the attitudes of the 102 members of the 1986 Constitutional Convention in Rhode Island. More recently he has been examining the impact of reform, i.e. structural changes in state and local government as compared to their posited effects. If you are thinking about working in Rhode Island state government, talk to Professor Leduc for advice.
