Sarah Hughes

Sarah crafts and manages research projects that aim to understand how government services can keep attuned to the dynamic and diverse needs of the public. Prior to joining the Partnership she co-led a number of research projects that highlight ways government can more tightly align services to the needs and circumstances of Veterans. Her research practice is deeply grounded in ethnography and takes inspiration from human centered design. Her interest in public service comes from her parents: one a former civil rights worker and the other a county government frontline provider. Her favorite public servant is the late Representative John Lewis who imagined and brought into being a more just and democratic society.
