Cameron Anglum is an Assistant Professor in the Saint Louis University School of Education. He earned a Ph.D. in Education Policy with a certificate in Urban Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. His research and teaching concentrate on the economics of education policy and education finance, work which is centered on the study of policy and program effects witnessed by disadvantaged students and the school districts and governments that serve them. In particular, he uses quasi-experimental methods of quantitative analysis to examine how American governments at the local, state, and federal levels invest in inputs to public education, the largest public expenditure at the state and local levels. In 2018 he was awarded a National Academy of Education / Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship and an Association for Education Finance and Policy New Scholar Award for his dissertation research examining school district debt issuance, credit constraints, and their relationships with school capital investments and educational inequality. His prior work has examined equity and adequacy considerations in school finance reforms, technology integration in urban schools, and reforms to school discipline policies. Anglum is an active member of the Association for Education Finance and Policy, the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, and the American Educational Research Association.
