When HRM is not among the list of required courses, programs forgo their responsibility to teach the next generation of public servants why merit-based civil service is crucial to a functioning democracy. The danger of ignorance is reflected in an…

Alexandra Morrison; Adam M. Wellstead; Helen Dickinson – Teaching Public Administration, 2024
The use of algorithms and automation of public services is not new, but in recent years there has been a step change in processing power and a decrease in the price of these technologies, which means we are seeing more widespread use. These advances are reframing our perception of what matters in ways that impact the ethical dimensions of…

Two essential questions for those leading the field of public administration are: What do we teach our students, and how do we train them?
