Elizabeth Bloodgood, PhD

Dr. Beth Bloodgood is interested in the emergence and influence of non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and the political power of information and data. Her SSHRC-funded research (with Wendy Wong, Toronto, and Sarah Stroup, Middlebury) in partnership with Ajah examines NGO lifecycles and populations cross-nationally and over time in order to understand the relationships between national regulations, nonprofit data environments, and nonprofit regulators. The Global Registry of Nonprofit Data Sources (GRNDS) can be found at grnds.org and on the GRNDS Dataverse (https://dataverse.scholarsportal.info/dataverse/GRNDS).
