Alison Perelman

Annenberg doctoral candidate Alison Perelman has become a member of the first class of Legislative and Policy Research Fellows for the City of Philadelphia. Six graduate students from Philadelphia area universities were named to these fellowships.
 

“I am pleased to announce the creation of the Research Bureau, which will conduct critical analysis of public policy for City Council,” said Philadelphia City Council President Darrell L. Clarke. “We have [six] bright, energetic Fellows eager to help us improve Philadelphia government and tackle problems that plague major cities across the country.”

 

Council Research Fellows will produce reports for members on topics including comparisons and analyses of federal, state and local statutes and policies. Research Fellows will not draft legislation, produce economic forecasts, provide legal opinions, conduct empirical research, or perform constituent services. Council Research Fellowships are unpaid.

 

In addition to Ms. Perelman, the research fellows are Javier Garcia, Frank Iannuzzi, Steve Kucera, all from Temple University; Theodore Patestos from Rutgers-Camden; and Michelle Yee from Widener University School of Law.
