Biography

Joanna Lucio is an associate professor in the School of Public Affairs in the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, Arizona State University. She has been teaching and conducting research on urban studies for the past 10 years. Her research addresses challenging urban problems that are relevant to contemporary conversations on access to affordable housing and conflict related to racial and economic segregation. Broadly, she seeks to advance critical thinking and empirical evidence about how housing governance and policies encourage or discourage community resilience. Her work examines two important and interconnected topics: (1) how affordable housing and dispersal policies affect the integration of residents in diverse communities and (2) how political incorporation and resident engagement influence the rights and outcomes of vulnerable residents.
