Bio:

Dr. David Hartmann is a professor and chair of the Department of Sociology at Western Michigan University. While Hartmann enjoys and values classroom-centered learning, faculty-student interaction on research projects remains the central learning model in graduate education.

As a research center director, Hartmann was fortunate to have worked with graduate and undergraduate students on innumerable research projects over the years. Part of his teaching agenda is to continue to find opportunities for the professional experiences.

Most of Hartmann's research interests are pursued through funded research projects with co-investigators from other of the social, behavioral and health sciences. These research interests led to work as a consultant and expert witness on administrative reorganization and racial equity issues for plaintiff groups and for municipalities, urban authorities such as police forces, school districts and nonprofit organizations.
