Rob Reich is an American political scientist. He is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Stanford University,[1] the director of its Program in Ethics in Society,[2] and co-director of its Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS).[3] Reich's work focuses on the intersection of philanthropy and education with the public sector.

Academic

Reich's scholarship on the charitable tax deduction, Teach for America, and non-profit status is frequently cited in the New York Times,[4] the Chronicle of Higher Education,[5] and the Chronicle of Philanthropy.[6] He is a contributor to the Boston Review, a magazine co-edited by fellow Stanford political science professor Joshua Cohen. Reich was the lead author of their 2013 forum on foundations and democracy, writing the essay entitled, "What are Foundations For?".[7] His first book, "Bridging Liberalism and Multiculturalism in Education," was published in 2003.[8] In 2013, he co-edited both "Education, Justice, and Democracy" with Danielle Allen[9] and "Occupy the Future" with David Grusky, Doug McAdam, and Debra Satz.[10] Reich has received numerous awards for his teaching, including the Walter J. Gores award (Stanford's highest teaching honor).[11] He is also a Bass Fellow in Undergraduate Education for "extraordinary contributions to undergraduate education." [12]

Public Service

In 2001, Reich and Debra Satz founded the non-profit Hope House Scholars Program to teach the liberal arts to women in Hope House, a substance abuse treatment center for women in Redwood City, California. The pair received the Roland Prize from Stanford for their work on the program.[13]

Personal Life and Education

Reich received his B.A. in philosophy from Yale and his Ph.D. in philosophy of education from Stanford. He served as an early corps member in Teach for America, during which he taught sixth grade in Houston, Texas.[14] He is often confused with Robert Reich, professor of political science at the University of California - Berkeley and former secretary of the department of labor.[15][16] They are not the same person, however.
