PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FOR THE 21st CENTURY: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE

The Canadian Association for Programs in Public Administration (CAPPA) is pleased to announce its eighth annual Research Conference in Public Administration, Policy, and Management. It will be held in Montreal, at Concordia University, from May 23-24, 2019.

The context in which public administration takes place is changing rapidly. Austerity politics; seemingly perpetual global economic and political crises; the delegitimization of science and expertise; and the politics of recognition and representation, including their populist variants, all have, in one way or another, recentred debates about the role of bureaucracies and bureaucrats in governing and governance. The conference theme aims to bring together researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the implications of these changes for contemporary public administration.

We invite proposals for panels, papers, and posters that address the broad theme of Public Administration for the 21st Century as well as other topics in the study of public administration in Canada. The conference program also includes a poster session for graduate students. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

Public administration in times of crisis
Public administration in the post-TRC era
Diversity and gender mainstreaming
Representative Bureaucracy
Building inclusive processes and institutions
Social movements, activism, and public administration
Design thinking/Design Justice
Co-production/Co-creation
Empathy and emotions in policy and administration
Shifting public service values

Panel proposals consist of three or four individual papers that focus on theoretical or methodological issues and can be submitted by one individual on behalf of the full panel. Submissions should include a short description comprising: 1) the overall theme of the panel (150 words); 2) an abstract for each paper in the panel (250 words maximum); and, 3) the names/ institutional affiliation/ position/ brief bio of the panel members (100 words).

Individual paper proposals are evaluated based on the significance and quality of the research question, design, methods, data (where appropriate), and implications. They should include: 1) an abstract (maximum 250 words); and, 2) the names/institutional affiliation/position/brief bio of the researcher (maximum 100 words).

Deadline for submissions: January 31, 2019.
