Hiding in plain sight: Recovering public administration’s lost legacy of social justice
Following Camilla Stivers’ historical account in Bureau Men/Settlement Women, this paper traces social equity within public administration to the Progressive Era and specifically to the New Deal when it became an explicit federal government commitment across policies, programs, and administration. By taking an approach focused on gender, the paper makes visible a “network” of progressive women administrators, including Jane Addams, Florence Kelle…
Embracing others with “sympathetic understanding” and “affectionate interpretation: ” Creating a relational care-centered public administration
This paper’s purpose is to share theoretical and practical guidance with public administration scholars, teachers, and practitioners interested in fostering empathy and compassion in the public arena. This paper proposes that Jane Addams’s interchangeable concepts of sympathetic understanding and affectionate interpretation, along with her care-centered approach to administration, offer a fruitful place to begin this work. It is this paper’s cont…
Reimagining Performance in Public Administration Theory and Practice: Creating a Democratic Performativity of Care and Hope
Public administration scholars and practitioners for too long have understood the concept of performance almost exclusively in terms of the neoliberal, new public management project where it is defined by reference to the measurement of outcomes. Borrowing from the “performance turn” in the human sciences, this article proposes reimagining performance as a critical and cultural concept that refers both to what is done (or performed) and to the do…

Erased History: Frances Perkins and the Emergence of Care-Centered Public Administration
This article argues that the “other” reform movement associated with the settlement women that Camilla Stivers identified in Bureau Men/Settlement Women did not disappear with the Progressive era. In fact, the settlement women's emphasis on care, connection, and concrete experience came to inform the national policies, values, and practices of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, most notably in the figure of Frances Perkins. Perkins and other New Deal…
Frances Perkins' Disappearance from American Public Administration: A Genealogy of Marginalization
Given Frances Perkins' many years in public service, it is puzzling that she left so little imprint upon American public administration. She was a historic "first" woman public executive at both the state and federal levels of government, whose tangible policy accomplishments (e.g., minimum wage and Social Security) people depend on still today. She led the Department of Labor during the whole of the New Deal, which was a defining moment in the d…
Lost and Found: Gender, Narrative, Miss Burchfield, and the Construction of Knowledge in Public Administration
This paper uses feminist narrative analytics to examine Mary Ellen Guy's (2000) life history of Miss Burchfield. Burchfield played a key, but largely invisible, role in the early development of American public administration. This paper examines how Guy constructed the Burchfield narrative and the different ways it might be read (e.g., insider/outsider, visible/invisible, gender success/gender victim, public administration founder/public administ…
Masculine Markets and Feminine Care: A Gender Analysis of the National Performance Review
This essay aims to uncover how and in what ways gender figures in the three National Performance Review reports. The analysis uncovers the different ways that gender operates in the reports and, in doing so, highlights why policy language matters. At the analytic level of the word, the reports are gender inclusive. At the analytic level of the sentence, the figurative language, metaphors, and bridging assumptions privilege experiences and actions…

Responses to Hugh Miller: It's a Matter of Discourse
Making It Meaning Full: Postmodern Public Administration and Symbolic Interactionism
Ten years ago Charles Fox and Hugh Miller (1995) published Postmodern Public Administration, which made a strong case for a discourse model of public administration and policy-making. Around the same time other books on discourse appeared, which helped create the sense that a discourse movement was underway within the discipline of public administration. This paper argues that if this movement truly is to effect a “sea change” within the discipli…
Other Voices/Other Rooms: Towards a Care-Centered Public Administration
One of the key contributions of the theorist is to present alternatives—in Truman Capote's (1948) telling phase, “other voices/other rooms”—to taken for granted disciplinary realities through the introduction of new or different perspectives, concepts, and ideas. The “other voice” of feminism has the potential to establish “other rooms” within American public administration that could create spaces for broader theoretical conversations within the…
Finding A Voice: Gender and Subjectivity in Public Administration Research and Writing
Research and writing on women, research taking a gender perspective, research authored by women, and accounts of women's experiences as public administrators and leaders have been slow to find their way into the literature of public administration. This paper seeks to deepen the current understanding of the gender narrative by examining how and in what ways gender has come to be written into the discipline of American public administration. This …
