Jeongyoon Lee serves as Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies for the MPA and MPP programs at the University of Kentucky's Martin School of Public Policy and Administration. Her research centers on intersectoral governance networks, nonprofit organizations, organizational sustainability, and mixed methods across public administration, public policy, and political science disciplines.
Dr. Lee earned her Ph.D. in Public Administration and Policy from Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy at the University at Albany, State University of New York, where she received the Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation Award. Her educational background provides foundational expertise in policy analysis and organizational theory.
Her research investigates trust-distrust dynamics in adversarial policy networks (particularly hydraulic fracturing contexts), nonprofit financial health during economic recessions, and organizational resilience in challenging environments. She employs mixed-method approaches to analyze governance structures, policy implementation barriers, and resource management challenges, with publications spanning Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Management Review, and Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2019-2025) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) network dynamics in contentious policy areas like hydraulic fracturing, (2) nonprofit financial sustainability and dissolution patterns, and (3) strategic planning effectiveness in local governance. Her work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical policy implications.
Her academic recognition includes:
- Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation Award from Rockefeller College
