The relevance of CRT to public administrative practice: The role of leaders
Public administration is poised to recognize that race is constitutive of bureaucratic hierarchies, processes, and outcomes and, as such, to ground our work in a more critical and progressive conceptual framework. In this exploratory analysis, we center Critical Race Theory (CRT) around practice, or praxis, a process that is self-reflexive and race-conscious to address root causes of racism, on the role of public sector leaders. This paper applie…
A New Era and New Concepts in the Study of Race in Public Administration
Weaponization of Wokeness: The Theater of Management and Implications for Public Administration
Contemporarily, the word “woke” has moved into the popular lexicon, largely to mean aware of and ideally doing something about systemic racism. After the George Floyd murder, and many other state‐sanctioned murders of Black Americans, protests erupted globally, and public administrators responded either with actionable policy changes or sometimes symbolic, “woke” statements that did little to alter the system. In this conceptual paper, we explore…
Making Violence Transparent: Ranking Police Departments in Major U.S. Cities to Make Black Lives Matter
This study suggests that police professionalism can both reduce homicides and prevent unnecessary police-related civilian deaths (PRCD). Those improvements would particularly benefit African Americans, who fall victim to both at disproportionately high rates. Policing practices regarding African Americans have a frustrating history, highlighted by the fact that PRCD generally, and for African Americans in particular, were not even counted until r…
The Disenfranchisement of Voters of Color: Redux
This article unpacks how voters of color continue to be disenfranchised by policy and administrative action. In 2013, the US Supreme Court issued a decision in Shelby County v. Holder, which struck down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This ruling sets the stage for states to change their election laws which have perpetuated voter suppression and the disenfranchisement of people of color and low-income whites. The article examines…
The Myth of Bureaucratic Neutrality: Institutionalized Inequity in Local Government Hiring
As a field, we often relate merit and neutrality to the technical skills needed to be the “best” candidate for a job, but that was not necessarily what civil service reformers had in mind. The civil service system was meant to replace widespread political patronage, but the myth around the origins of the civil service system masked inequalities built into early testing requirements and institutionalized racial inequities in hiring practices. In t…

Comparing Discrete Distributions: Survey Validation and Survey Experiments
Field survey experiments often measure amorphous concepts in discretely ordered categories, with postsurvey analytics that fail to account for the discrete attributes of the data. This article demonstrates the use of discrete distribution tests, specifically the chi-square test and the discrete Kolmogorov—Smirnov (KS) test, as simple devices for comparing and analyzing ordered responses typically found in surveys. In Monte Carlo simulations, we f…
