A Case for Liberatory Public Service in Public Performance Measurement and Management
Public Performance Measurement and Management (PPMM) has traditionally emphasized efficiency, effectiveness, and economy, with equity issues often receiving less sustained engagement. This imbalance can cause performance systems to reproduce harm, particularly for multiply marginalized communities. This article advances theory and praxis for social equity and justice in public performance measurement and management (PPMM) by applying the Liberato…
Learning from public administration faculty
Higher education is confronting how faculty burnout has affected employee morale and job satisfaction. To better understand the implications of a pandemic on higher education. we survey over 900 public administration faculty to determine if they are burnt out and what motivates them to come to work. We apply emotional labour theory to the burnout measure system to understand the job experiences, level of satisfaction, well-being, and benefits of …
Governance and Accountability in Reshaping Public Services
Issues of accountability are ubiquitous in public governance. Accountability connects with other concerns like legitimacy, power, citizen engagement, and new modes of service production. These issues and connections become all the more poignant given the evolving landscape of public services amidst the backdrop of 21st‐century poly‐crises. The pieces in this special issue explore these dynamics, particularly concerning shifting governing modes, c…
A Polyphonic Debate on Social Equity Budgeting
This paper is polyphonic (i.e., a debate involving multiple perspectives) and highlights emerging interdisciplinary thoughts on past, current, and future social equity budgeting (SEB). We present a vision for the field and emphasize the potential impact of this paper. We hope to enliven debates regarding context, underpinning philosophies, and methods, thus fostering a greater theoretical and practical reconsideration of SEB. The impact of this p…
Dismantling racism and white supremacy in public service institutions and society
The field of public administration has long resisted admitting an uncomfortable truth. Public administrattion is culpable in creating and maintaining racist, white supremacist policies and institutions through which Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color disproportionately experience prejudice and discrimination and, therefore, inequities and injustices throughout public services and society. However, few have been willing to have this…
A long road
Public Administration , the field's oldest journal, is now 100 years old. Despite this centenary, it has only been relatively recently that scholars have examined questions of: (1) how diverse, equitable, and inclusive the field is; (2) how oppressive administrative structures marginalize groups; and (3) what principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mean globally. We seek to contribute to this conversation by reflecting on what is cur…
Meet the New Es
With growing discussion and action around inequality, climate change, and a global pandemic, do the current pillars of public administration, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness, also known as the 3Es, meet the needs of the public administration? We propose that there are new pillars which better respond to 21st century problems in ways not addressed through values of efficiency, effectiveness, and economy. In this article, we will explore the…

Beyond Bostock
The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County is a landmark piece of case law that offers fundamental rights to LGBT persons. This essay reflects on how this case arrived at the Supreme Court and its implications for theory and praxis. The overall conclusion is that cautious optimism is warranted
Gender in Emergency Services
The lack of gender equity in the public sector is a critical issue, especially for emergency services. We explore the gendered nature of firefighting and policing at both professional and organizational levels. We assess gender equity by asking the following questions: (1) How have understandings of gender in emergency services evolved over time? (2) What are the normative implications of emergency services’ lack of gender equity? We draw from fe…
Popular Culture Informing Public Administration
In the discipline of public administration, popular culture remains under-examined in scholarship and under-utilized in pedagogy. However, the field would benefit from greater integration of popular culture to expand understandings of governance, especially in that it provides important representations of and messaging about some of today’s most pressing social equity issues. To contextualize popular culture in public administration, we use criti…
The Rule of Law
“The rule of law” is a much lauded concept in that as “political morality [...] it refers to the ascendancy of law [...] and of the institutions of the legal system in a system of governance.” It is so
Ethics for Contemporary Bureaucrats

Introduction to the Special Issue
Popular culture. It is everywhere—from movies, television, music, and literary works to other vehicles for messaging like social media and celebrity influencers. Popular culture frequently provides
Social Equity in Professional Codes of Ethics
Social equity is a principle of public administration ethics and is reflected in numerous professional organizations’ codes of ethics. This piece examines social equity as an ethical imperative of public administration by examining the purposes of codes, surveying the meanings of social equity, and exploring how social equity is present in 10 codes, with particular focus on the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA). Reflections are of…
An Exploratory Study of Transgender Inmate Populations in Latin America
Transgender persons disproportionately face inequities, especially in prisons. Despite these inequities, the academic literature on this topic is limited. Even more limited is the literature on transgender issues in Latin America. This exploratory study addresses these issues. First, it examines literature on transgender prisoners, emphasizing how they, already victimized by society at large, are revictimized in prisons. Second, it investigates t…
Turning disability into ability
Physical activity reduces the risk for comorbidities, but little is known about barriers to exercise among older adults living with HIV. Three focus groups were conducted among 19 adults living with HIV, aged ≥ 50 years, who were enrolled in or recently completed a supervised exercise intervention. Sessions were recorded, transcribed, and coded first using inductive methods. All participants were male, and the majority were white, non-Hispanic; 5…
Habermasville”
Police–community relations in the United States are seeing a crisis of trust and legitimacy. Minorities disproportionally experience police contact, and recent shootings of unarmed persons raise concerns about whether minority communities have equal protection of the law. This paper uses Jürgen Habermas’s theory of communicative rationality to examine this distrust. The argument is that Habermas’s theory positively informs understanding of police…
Improving Community Relations
Social equity research increasingly focuses on how accountability for social equity is achieved, or how public administrators improve the access, outcomes, processes, and quality of public services. This is particularly important to examine in police departments, which are more frequently using strategies such as community policing programs (CPPs), social equity performance measurement (SEPM), and ethics training to yield better community relatio…
LGBT Homeless Youth and Policing
LGBT homeless youth are a particularly vulnerable population, accounting for 20–40% of all homeless youth. Literature demonstrates that these youth are disproportionately involved in the criminal justice system. Involvement in the justice system frequently begins with a police contact, about which relatively little is understood. Fear of the police among LGBT homeless youth is likely common, and police may be ill-equipped to interact with and ass…
Local charter school service delivery
The primary goal of this study is to examine whether educational interest groups’ roles explain local charter school service delivery in Colorado. Many scholars have found that interest groups affect educational policy outcomes and performance at national, state, and local levels. However, it is not clear whether interest groups’ roles are still important in local charter school service delivery. This article seeks to address this lack of knowled…
One More Time
The politics/administration dichotomy—a heuristic used to define the field's parameters—is a durable cornerstone of American public administration. Its starting point is in Woodrow Wilson's often-cited 1887 essay. Wilson used a definitional technique for analytic and persuasive purposes in which he distinguished administrative province and process from political province and process. Exegesis on that and the rest of Wilson's formal work reveals t…
Social Equity
Social equity is rooted in the idea that each person is equal and has inalienable rights. Because of America's unique blend of social, religious, economic, and political characteristics, we value this concept despite, or perhaps because of, the simultaneous tensions of a capitalist economy, which requires inequality, set within a democratic constitutional system, which assumes equality. The impossibility of simultaneously achieving inequality and…
