Xiao Han – Journal of Education Policy, 2024
Foucauldian critical studies are cornucopian in illustrating how policy as discourse normalizes and yields human beings into made subjects in modern societies. However, Foucault's own slide from the 'terminal stage of discourse' pays little attention to the linguistic elements, and thus weakens the theory's potency in explaining the reality.…

Hatcher, William; Hammond, Augustine; Meares, Wesley L. – Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, 2020
The relationship between institutions of higher learning and their local communities is often described as "town and gown."

Baker, Dana Lee; Miller, Audrey Anna; Bratton, Todd – Teaching Public Administration, 2015
Promoting understanding of quality in the context of good governance can be a challenging classroom exercise not only because of the potential for hijacking politicization of the discussion, but also because of the variety of ways in which public sector goals can be defined, even in the context of a single policy. Standards of quality in the…

Khelifi, Saber – European Journal of Educational Research, 2019
The advent of the new economy brought university reforms to the limelight, and higher education research concentrated on the study of interactions of multi-level, multi-actor policy reforms, to the detriment of studying policy implementation. The ebbing of implementation analysis in the mid-1980s has probably put researchers off following up…

Barnes, Philip; Morris, Michael P.; Pierce, Andrea L.; Shaffer, Timothy J. – Journal of Public Affairs Education, 2023
The widening cracks in the foundations of American democracy are leading to appeals for higher educational institutions generally, and public affairs programs specifically, to offer more courses on civil discourse. In this paper, we conduct a curriculum scan to evaluate the extent to which public affairs programs have answered these calls at the…

Ventriss, Curtis – Journal of Public Affairs Education, 1998
An undergraduate degree in public administration is neither needed nor a desirable educational goal for the fields of public administration and public policy. Undergraduate public-administration education should focus only on macrosocietal issues such as the substantive role of the citizenry in democracy; the nature of public interest; and…
