Assistant Professor of Public Administration, Binghamton University, State University of New York

Prof. Dula’s work concentrates on public and nonprofit management with a particular focus on governance, philanthropy, and gender and equity issues. She works to combine traditional public administration theories such as representative bureaucracy and institutionalism with theories from sociology and economics in the study of nonprofits and the public sector. She is currently working on research within the realm of philanthropy, intersectionality, bureaucracy, and gender theory.

Dula is a co-recipient of the Inaugural Association of Fundraising Professionals Foundation’s Wilson C. “Bill” Levis Research Grant. She also received a fellowship from the Women’s Philanthropy Institute (WPI) at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. The Institute works to better understand women’s giving behaviors.
