Michael D. McGinnis, PhD (Political Science), is Principal Investigator and Director of Managing the Health Commons, a project of ReThink Health. A Professor of Political Science, he is Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University, Bloomington, an inter-disciplinary research and teaching center focused on the study of institutions, development, and governance. A globally recognized center for institutional analysis, the Workshop was initially established in 1973 by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom. Its continuing importance was dramatically recognized when Elinor Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Professor McGinnis’ current research focuses on the ways in which health care policy in the U.S. can be improved through increased collaboration among stakeholders at the community or regional level, rather than relying on reforms at national or state levels. Professor McGinnis received a BS in mathematics from The Ohio State University in 1980 and a PhD in Political Science from The University of Minnesota in 1985 and has worked at IU ever since.
