Reclaiming pedagogy in virtual learning environments
Universities face intensifying pressures to do more with less as funding and staff numbers reduce, yet while Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are widely promoted in pursuing efficiency in delivery, their pedagogical potential for supporting personalised learning remains underdeveloped. This longitudinal study investigated how structured challenge and iterative reattempt opportunities can reconcile depth with scale across 21 UK institutions (n…
Feedback, reflection and psychological safety
This study investigates how structured, timely and emotionally intelligent feedback can support both cognitive development and emotional regulation within a competition-based learning (CBL) framework in higher education. Specifically, it asks whether feedback-rich, low-stakes assessment models can reduce anxiety and enhance learner engagement in practice-based disciplines. Using longitudinal action research across four academic cycles (2021–2024)…

Michael McGuire Michael McGuire Michael McGuire is an assistant professor of History at Mount Saint Mary College. His published and forthcoming works explore American humanitarians’ aid to French civilians devastated by World War I and its influence on Franco-American relations. Search…
A War Generation
Over 2,000 Radcliffe College students, administrators, and alumnae irregularly involved themselves in World War I (WWI) activism. While most matriculating and matriculated Radcliffe members collectively contributed to war work, their individual records illuminate peculiar paradoxes that challenge historical concepts of America's WWI culture. Radcliffe females generally assumed war tasks untethered to their professional experiences and political a…
El Volcán
Beyond flatland
The ‘smart city’—insofar as the concept has any definitive purchase—is really what I termed in my (2008) a ‘hyperspatial’ city. That is, its social world is not just connected, but hyperconnected. This means that the risks it generates are not just those of an everyday physical space, or even what was once termed a ‘cyberspace’, but perils with multidimensional properties—ones which go far beyond mass data-veillance, or the hacking of a home hub …
A Fractured Service
Born to privilege in Boston, Frances Webster, like her peers volunteered overseas with the American Red Cross as a nurse's aide. Where the activities of other Americans during the First World War is characterized as a “culture of coercive volunterism,” Webster's reflected a more complex mixture of altruism and tourism. Her history of participation in the First World War suggests historians need more multifaceted frameworks to explain Americans' F…
Cultures de Guerre in Picardy, 1917
In 1917 French and foreign agents reconstructed sections of Picardy destroyed by Operation Alberich, a “scorched-earth” program implemented by departing Germans. The region’s unanticipated maltreatment led French Third Army forces to evaluate and assist Picardy’s devastated homesteads and refugee-residents. Under General Georges Humbert, the Third Army implemented juxtaposing reconstruction policies in Picardy. Along with inhabitants, bureaucrats…
Accountability and Performance
La « technomie » et le citoyen biochimique
L’apparition du profilage ADN comme outil au service de la justice pénale constitue une étape nouvelle dans l’usage du corps au titre de ressource à des fins de régulation sociale. Le rôle traditionnel du corps pénal – objet visible de distribution de souffrances – a progressivement été dilué dans des projets de régulation plus subtils et invisibles, centrés sur sa structure biochimique. La transformation a été si subtile que l’on peut avancer qu…
Carbon emissions intensity ratio
This letter proposes a new carbon labelling scheme to improve the visibility of products' life cycle carbon emissions (sometimes defined as carbon footprint). This approach starts by normalizing carbon emissions data on a common scale of 'carbon emissions intensity', and a new indicator 'carbon emissions intensity ratio' is generated based upon its ratio to the annual national greenhouse gas emission per gross domestic product. Five ranges (extre…
Direct mapping of acoustics to phonology
It is well known that adult US-English-speaking learners of French experience difficulties acquiring high /y/–/u/ and mid /œ/–/ɔ/ front vs. back rounded vowel contrasts in French. This study examines the acquisition of these French vowel contrasts at two levels: phonetic categorization and lexical representations. An ABX categorization task (for details, see Section IV) revealed that both advanced and intermediate learners categorized /œ/ vs. /ɔ/…
A Look Behind the Scenes
As I write this, the current editorial team for Public Administration Review is entering its sixth month of operation. Administrative operations for the journal have changed dramatically since our editorial team assumed responsibility for PAR on July 1, 2011. The learning curve for all of us has been precipitous, and I now truly appreciate the tireless work of my predecessor, Jos Raadschelders. We are all learning, and learning quickly, how to ma…
The Limitations of Public Management Networks
With regard to public management network theory development, among the most important issues that remain is a recognition of the limitations of networks. Networks often find reasonable solution approaches, but then run into operational, performance, or legal barriers that prevent the next action step. Networks face challenges in converting solutions into policy energy, assessing internal effectiveness, surmounting the inevitable process blockages…
Integrating sustainable waste management into product design
Municipal waste management is, by definition, spatially organized. In the United Kingdom the national government designates waste collection and disposal responsibilities to the various scales of local government. However, whilst the highest aim of waste management is prevention, achieving this is beyond the scope of local authorities, which deal with the waste stream presented to them as an independent variable. Alternatively, product design off…
What if Hurricane Katrina Hit in 2020? The Need for Strategic Management of Disasters
What would another Hurricane Katrina bring in 2020? Is government at all levels ready for such an event? This essay argues that learning to manage actions supporting disaster response and recovery operations consistently and effectively requires strategic, not reactive, thinking. It adopts a framework based in issues focused thinking, externally focused management, and opportunity‐seeking behavior to examine the complex mix of individuals, organi…
The Effect of Problem Severity, Managerial and Organizational Capacity, and Agency Structure on Intergovernmental Collaboration
Like most public managers nowadays, local emergency managers operate within complex, uncertain environments. Rapid changes in the scope and severity of the issues increase the extent of intergovernmental collaboration necessary to address such challenges. Using a large data set of county emergency management agency directors, variations in intergovernmental collaboration reflect influences from problem severity, managerial capacity, and structura…
Wildland fire mitigation networks in the western United States
Multiorganisational networks have become the primary vehicle through which disaster policy is designed and administered. Numerous case studies reveal their importance and the role they play in all phases of disaster management. This research emphasis on the description of coordination and collaboration lacks a descriptive framework, however, for examining the capabilities and potentialities of networks. This paper provides an overview of the netw…
Close But Not Close Enough
Intergovernmental Management
Intergovernmental management is more than just intergovernmental relationships involving the federal government. Though Professor McGuire agrees that the federal government has become more intrusive and opportunistic since the mid‐20th century—resulting in less cooperative intergovernmental relations—he argues that collaborative management is much more prevalent than it is depicted in Dr. Conlan’s analysis. A bottom‐up view suggests that local an…
Collaborative Public Management
Collaborative public management research is flourishing. A great deal of attention is being paid to the process and impact of collaboration in the public sector, and the results are promising. This article reviews the literature on collaborative public management by synthesizing what we know from recent research and what we've known for quite some time. It addresses the prevalence of collaboration (both recently and historically), the components …
Managing Networks
Measuring management in networks is difficult because the allocation of managerial resources in network structures is fluid—that is, the utilization of management behaviors varies across time and space within a given program or project. As a means of focusing the network management research agenda, propositions based in contingency logic are suggested to test ideas regarding when, why, and how network managers undertake these behaviors. The propo…
Dancing in the darkness on the edge of town
American Federalism and the Search for Models of Management
Changes in the United States federal system mean that managers must operate by taking into account multiple interacting governments and nongovernmental organizations; dealing with numerous programs emanating from Washington and state capitols; and engaging in multiple intergovernmental transactions with an expanding number of intergovernmental instruments. Four models of management within this changing system are identified. The top‐down model em…
Expanding Intergovernmental Management’s Hidden Dimensions
The practice of intergovernmental management is widespread in application but poorly understood. The empirical study of economic policy making and administration reported here suggests that the role of the intergovernmental manager has expanded considerably beyond the familiar tasks of seeking funds from other governments, coping with an expanding regulatory burden, or developing interlocal cooperative agreements. Linking data from two different …

Building Development Capacity in Nonmetropolitan Communities
The primary responsibility for economic growth and survival has gradually shifted from the national government to communities and their local governments. Whereas the previous two decades saw the rapid emergence of subnational economic development strategies (Rubin and Zorn, 1985; Eisinger, 1988; Osborne, 1988; Fosler, 1988), the 1990s appear to be an era in which a more sophisticated application of these insights, commonly referred to as localit…

Managing in Network Settings
The focus of this article is on managing networks. A network knowledge base is developed from the authors' studies of city government involvement in economic development, management within rural enterprises and the evaluation of a rural strategic planning project. Other public management network analyses are also incorporated. Management in network settings is not based on central authority and cannot be guided by a single organizational goal as …

Darwinian Psychiatry (DRAFT)
Can evolutionary theory explain depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders? The authors re-examine this old question in light of current research and show that evolution may provide the essential framework for understanding both everyday human behavior and a range of mental disorders. Their discussion includes research on emotions, moods, symptoms, and mental processing. The authors make a compelling case for the view that prominent features…
