Abstract The overly aggressive use of force by police on African Americans illustrates a fundamental dissonance within the American polity. The ideal of justice and liberty juxtaposed with the reality of suffering and death at the hands of frontline law enforcement. This paper considers the relationship between administrative rules, policing, and racial disparities in the application of the use of force in the United States through the lens of social equity. The article details the racialized nature of use of force and suggests a possible way forward for administrators to address the unequal application of force by police in their encounters with African Americans. Specifically, the creation of processes that limit discretion related to the use of force, the establishment of uniform licensing standards, and the implementation of a database that tracks all incidents when force is used.

Abstract The legacy of the American plantation system of the Antebellum South is frequently examined for its influence on American government. However, we do not discuss at length its influence on philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. We attempt to address this shortcoming by contextualizing the plantation narrative within the nonprofit sector. We then pose and start to answer three questions to provide a path forward for the sector to address current and future challenges. We conclude with a personal narrative in which we grapple with some of these questions.

Abstract The disproportionate numbers of LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness presents moral and ethical dilemmas, carries high emotional and social costs for those without safe, adequate housing, and impacts society at-large. This paper argues that rather than traditional, power-over responses that perpetuate oppression, ostracization, and feelings of powerlessness experienced by young people at multiple intersections of marginalization, public service approaches can foster power-with. The ballroom culture captured in the television series Pose provides critical insight to creating systemic change and justice from a starting point of communal love and power-with. By rejecting the politics of domination in favor of the politics of love, these approaches reaffirm self-efficacy and agency, and ultimately lead toward justice.

Abstract Social movements have been identified as a source of learning for collaborative governance network models, prefiguring “integrative governance” through their commitment to radical democracy. The nonprofit training institute Relational Uprising works directly with social movements and finds that despite their shared values and struggles, most movements are deeply challenged with sustaining these radical commitments within their own group interactions over time. Within movement communities, a culture of trusting relationships is needed to ensure resilience to the complexities of diversity and interdependency, without collapsing into suspicion, exclusion, and power struggles. Relational Uprising offers movements 1) a deconstruction of meta-narratives and embodied social behaviors they unwittingly inherit from the dominant culture; and 2) practices for generating a relational culture, which is characterized by the presence of key relational resources: sensitivity to connection, interdependence, and sustained inclusion. In this essay, we offer an explanation of our Relational Culture training framework and explore strengths and challenges within a specific movement example. We conclude that movements need a commitment to and a strategy for 1) uprooting dominant cultural values and behaviors and 2) replacing them with a relational culture that centers and protects relationships. Ultimately the Relational Culture framework helps movements undertake an ontological shift, which is necessary to avoid the inevitable pitfalls of operating within the habits and habitat of the dominant culture.

Abstract In this study of nonprofit engagement with the census, we argue for an expansion of the research toolbox to include critical race methods as an essential lens on public and nonprofit administration. By foregrounding race and racism, illuminating power structures and discourses, and centering the knowledge and practices of nonprofit staff as street-level workers, critical race methods reveal the processes of construction that shape and influence a seemingly objective count and highlight the roles that staff play as mediators in the conflicts between fear and trust that are inherent to racial governance in the United States.

Abstract This paper examines nascent alternative approaches to “commoning” and “common goods” that have been developed over the last decade by a unique coalition of lawyers, grassroots initiatives, and local governments in Italian cities, notably Bologna and Naples. The aim is to flesh out and to critically appraise two variants of a strategy for advancing urban commons in the direction of Integrative Governance, civic equality, power-with, solidarity, plurality, openness, and care for the city: the “Bologna Model” and the “Neapolitan Way.” The argument is that the two strategies diverge in crucial respects, the former being more top-down and potentially compromising than the latter. Both, however, bear promise and potential for commons-oriented change, opening up processes of new social invention, deeper democratization, political contestation, and counter-hegemonic intervention.

Abstract This article identifies the ways that White supremacy manifests throughout the field of public administration in its research and scholarship. Through a critical discourse analysis of symposia over a period of 20 years (2000–2020) in three foremost public administration journals, this paper investigates the extent to which each journal either reinforces or resists systemic racism. Peer-reviewed journals serve as gatekeepers to advancing and shaping the direction of research; as such, symposia are a mechanism through which editors signal interest, create intellectual space, open dialogue in a particular research direction, and share editorial power with guest editors who either represent marginalized or hegemonic identities and positions. Our analysis reveals there is an opportunity to enhance race-consciousness, intentional anti-racist language, power-sharing, and resistance in future symposia. The article concludes by offering a path forward toward dismantling, reconciling, and repairing the entrenched, systemic, and historic racism and anti-Blackness in the field of public administration.

Abstract While scientific knowledge has become valuable in the making of national and global policies, the influence of Public Administration knowledge may be perceived as limited. This study aimed to understand what is necessary for Public Administration knowledge to be meaningful, and four antecedents for meaningful knowledge were identified. This article reports on the first two, namely an ontology that recognizes a dynamic, diverse, multi-connected and complex public administration, and a recognition that the quest for meaningful knowledge is situated within this reality. Firstly, a social ontology is proposed that recognizes an emergent, diverse, complex and multi-connected public administration reality. Secondly, it is argued that the situatedness of the quest for knowledge within the public administration reality is vital for articulating knowledge questions and making sense of them. The implication of the co-situatedness of scholars, administrators, politicians and citizens in the public administration reality is that all these inhabitants have an inter-connected stake in this co-constructed reality to inform their attempts at sense-making.

Abstract In 2020, the lack of an administrative response to the rising rates of COVID-19 and the inability of public leaders to provide proper oversight and accountability for unjust government actions by (police officers) presents a clear case of the failure of the administrative state. These actions have led to a national outcry by individuals and organizations (in particular Black Lives Matter (BLM)) that are fed up with the inequity that exists in society. Unlike prior movements, BLM in its current form has gained a powerful ally in members of professional sports, in particular the NBA and the WNBA. While sport figures have protested administrative failures before, this new wave of athletes have been able to capitalize on their positions and gain the support of their respective associations. In this dialogue, we explore the emergence of the Black American athlete as a key group in creating change within the administrative state, highlighted by the actions of LeBron James and Maya Moore as well as organizational support from both the NBA and the WNBA to combat social injustice across several settings. Finally, we assert that athletes play a powerful role in pushing forward the conversation around institutional and systemic racism in society.
