A dying moment: Liberating the public service with bardos and butterflies
A Black Feminist response to a retrenching administrative state
Predatory Policing, Intersectional Subjection, and the Experiences of LGBTQ People of Color in New Orleans
Much of the disparate outcomes experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other identities along the spectrum (LGBTQ+) people of color are directly linked to the practices of public actors and through institutional policies. This is perhaps no truer than for LGBTQ+ individuals of color in their interactions with police. This article argues that intersectional subjection fosters an environment prime for predatory policing and u…
Intersectionality and Social Welfare: Avoidance and Unequal Treatment among Transgender Women of Color
This research adds to the emergent literature on intersectionality and public administration through examining how transgender women of color (trans WOC) are interacting with U.S. social welfare offices. It is our contention that trans WOC, facing a compounded set of negative stereotypes derived from racial and gender identities, will be more likely than other transgender identifying persons to: (1) avoid seeking out public welfare benefits and (…
Segregated Spaces and Separated Races: The Relationship Between State-Sanctioned Violence, Place, and Black Identity
This article explores segregation and the social status of black people, focusing in particular on the ripple effects of Plessy v. Ferguson on policing in the United States. Specifically, we ask how the legacy of Plessy v. Ferguson has helped maintain state-sanctioned racially based violence. We draw from Mapping Police Violence, which compiles data on the number of police-involved homicides in large police departments in the United States from 2…
Race, Racism and Administrative Callousness: Using Critical Race Theory for a Race-Conscious Public Administration
This special symposium examines CRT across public and nonprofit spaces to better understand the effects of denying race and racism within the spaces they govern. Although ever present across public administration and nonprofit institutions, explicit discussions and/or initiatives designed to address racism, at the root level, are rare. While an increasingly growing area of interest, the study of public administration continues to avoid explicit c…
Social Vulnerability and Equity: The Disproportionate Impact of Covid ‐19
As the architect of racial disparity, racism shapes the vulnerability of communities. Socially vulnerable communities are less resilient in their ability to respond to and recover from natural and human‐made disasters compared with resourced communities. This essay argues that racism exposes practices and structures in public administration that, along with the effects of COVID‐19, have led to disproportionate infection and death rates of Black p…
Social Construction and the Criminalization of Identity: State-Sanctioned Oppression and an Unethical Administration
What is considered a crime and who is considered a criminal is largely based on social constructions that have a longstanding presence in U.S. history. In the United States, the social construction of crime and criminality is disproportionately attributed to the behaviors of those with marginalized racial, sexual, and gender identities. This article explores sources and instances of systemic injustice by making explicit connections between the so…
Facilitating Difficult Dialogues in the Classroom: A Pedagogical Imperative
Counternarratives as Critical Perspectives in Public Administration Curricula
This article argues for the inclusion of critical perspectives in public administration curricula to explore the historical and contemporary processes that contribute to disparity and injustice. The counternarratives examined in the article include social construction, inclusive feminism, critical urban planning, and democratic cultural pluralism. Critical perspectives or counternarratives are presented as challenges to hegemonic scripts that wil…
Inequality at the Intersection of the Defense of Marriage Act and the Voting Rights Act: A Review of the 2013 Supreme Court Decisions
(2014). Inequality at the Intersection of the Defense of Marriage Act and the Voting Rights Act. Administrative Theory & Praxis: Vol. 36, No. 2, pp. 261-267
Vampires Suck: Parallel Narratives in the Marginalization of the Other
This article uses content and discourse analysis to identify parallel narratives in the HBO series True Blood and American society, then applies Young's politics of difference to identify counternarratives suggesting that knowledge, culture, and customs are not universal. The three primary characteristics of the politics of difference—democratic cultural pluralism, equality, and postmodernism—provide a lens to explore the identified narratives. I…
