Abstract This paper links parallel discussions of territoriality and organizational forgetting to examine why public organizations may experience difficulties during political shifts using public accounts of the U.S. EPA. To accomplish this task, the metaphor of tattoo removal is explored through the criminal justice literature. In particular, tattoo removal provides an analogous set of concepts to understand, frame, and evaluate the enduring physical and psychological residues of organizational territoriality generally, and marking behavior specifically. Residues of political and other organizational changes can produce marks that are not easily removed or forgotten, stunting daily managerial practices. Difficulties with instituting corrective action can result when employees actively mark to remember.

This special issue of Administrative Theory & Praxis on the topic of “Otherness and Empathy in Public Administration” includes six manuscripts contributed by Mariglynn Edlins, DeLysa Burnier, Stephanie Dolamore, Rosa Castillo Krewson and Christian Matheis, Maren Trochmann, and Laura Hand. The editorial introduction provided by the guest editor introduces the topic and connects the contributions in this special issue to the broader theme and literature. To feel the pain of others, or more broadly to relate feelings to others, which is the etymological meaning of empathy, is a key feature of the relational nature of any communal organization. It is difficult to imagine that without an ability to empathize human beings would have been able to build strong enough relational bonds that would sustain a communal organization, which was crucial for survival over the hundreds of thousands of years prior to the advent of the modern society (Stanisevski, 2011, 2015). Furthermore, as Aristotle (1857, pp. 136–140) observed in his discussion of pity, roughly referring to what today we would call an empathy, this sentiment that enables an emotional connection to the suffering of somebody else is more likely to be expressed toward those that are closer to us. While it is possible for one to feel empathy toward a person that is not well known to us, empathy generally requires relating to that person at least on a level of common humanity and closer this other person is to us easier it becomes to relate to that person (Aristotle 1857; Stanisevski, 2015). The dynamic interconnection of empathy and Otherness, therefore, seems apparent. How do empathy and Otherness, however, also connect to modern public administration? The emergence of modernity brought forward a rather curious belief that human beings could “progress” beyond the basic human tendency to build close relational bonds in communities and accordingly should form societies based either on dispassionately rational bureaucracies (Taylor, 1919; Weber, 1946) or on rational self-interest in a market dominated society (Downs, 1957; Niskanen, 2017). If public administration is to be dispassionately rational (Taylor, 1919; Weber, 1946) or based on a rational selfinterest in a market dominated society (Downs, 1957; Niskanen, 2017), could it be empathetic as well? In particular, could public administration, both in the study of public administration and in the day to day practice of public organizations and public administrators, be empathetic toward the more marginalized individuals and communities?

Abstract 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.

Abstract In this article, I am concerned about how countries around the world have coped and are coping with the unprecedented COVID-19 turn of events, which has brought all life to a screeching halt. The state everywhere has been called upon to respond effectively to the associated morbidities and mortalities and plot for a post-COVID-19 era. My interest lies in how the weakening of the state in Africa in the last 30 years complicates the continent’s capacity to confront the pandemic adequately. I focus primarily on the Ghanaian case as my analytic reference. I argue that in spite of the attempts in the public administration literature and neoliberalization policy formation to undermine the African state as a key vehicle for development, this pandemic brings it right back to the center of things.

Abstract The defining characteristic of 2020 is life interrupted. Countries around the globe are impacted by wholescale stay-at-home orders, looming economic collapse, heightened public attention to systemic racism, and associated protests. Even as global events create immense disruptions for individuals, these events also necessitate responsive actions from public and private institutions. In this Dialogue essay, we argue that the current crises emphasize the need for public organizations to sustain relationships by infusing communication efforts with empathy. Using an organizational theory approach of crisis management, we argue for the importance of focusing on governance legitimacy in times of crisis and highlight three communication strategies public organizations can use to strengthen relationships and improve crisis management performance.

Abstract While dehumanizing language, or comparison of humans to animals or machines, is commonplace in administrative rhetoric, there is little evidence of its consequences, particularly when used in its positive form, with intent to praise, rather than denigrate. Using a survey experiment, the authors provide respondents with an employee evaluation of a hypothetical employee that includes comments from a supervisor with treatment and experimental groups being exposed to different types of language. Results suggest that dehumanizing language can alter perceptions of employee competence, but it comes with a tradeoff related to perceptions of their personality. This raises questions about how administrative rhetoric creates images of individuals within organizations, in both positive and negative ways.

Abstract Within Indigenous communities, how do emerging Indigenous leaders experience resistance? This article discusses responses to this guiding research question within the multi-directional oppression Indigenous peoples experience in their communities as public administrators. Using an Indigenous Knowledge framework that is deeply based in grounded theory, we hosted listening circles to create a space for emerging Indigenous leaders to talk and hear each other in a Longhouse at The Evergreen State College. The listening circle contributors are mainly emerging leaders and tribal members from Native nations across the Salish Sea. They talked together to unravel the implications outsider and insider colonization has had on the community relations that exist today. This research focused solely on the perpetration of colonization tactics that use cultural traditions as a weapon to oppress rather than enliven. Rather than European colonization, internalized Indigenous colonization was often discussed from Indigenous person to person and distinct groups within Indigenous communities to other groups. Through exploring present day weaponized tradition, we work to heal through an Indigenous meta-narrative of lived experiences thereby removing Indigenous peoples from the classification of “other” or “erased.”
在原住民社区内，新出现的原住民领袖如何遭遇阻力?这篇文章讨论了原住民作为公共管理者在他们的社区中所经历的多向压迫对这个指导性研究问题的回应。我们利用以扎根理论为基础的土著知识框架，在州立常青学院(The Evergreen State College)的长屋(Longhouse)举办了倾听圈活动，为新兴的土著领导人创造了一个相互交谈和倾听的空间。倾听圈的贡献者主要是来自萨利希海对岸土著民族的新兴领导人和部落成员。他们一起讨论了外来和内部殖民对今天存在的社区关系的影响。这项研究仅仅集中在利用文化传统作为压迫而不是激活的武器的殖民策略的实施上。与欧洲殖民相比，内化的土著殖民经常在土著人与土著人之间以及土著社区内的不同群体与其他群体之间进行讨论。通过探索当今武器化的传统，我们致力于通过土著生活经历的元叙事来治愈，从而将土著人民从“他者”或“被抹去”的分类中移除。

Abstract In an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, local and state authorities have enacted stay-at-home orders, limiting citizens’ movement outside of the home to “essential” activities and work. Although a seemingly mundane action, staying out of public spaces is a form of co-production aimed at co-creating public health value. People who are homeless, lacking the resources needed to stay at home, are unable to equitably participate in this act of co-production. As a result, their status as a citizen in the “everyday” sense is compromised.

Abstract The pandemic is already forcing many individuals, businesses, and governments to rethink much of what they do and how they do it. As such, it presents an opportunity for public administrators to reimagine the criteria they use when designing and implementing programs and policies, and to more actively engage in prevention of identity-based violence. In this contribution, we suggest a new analytical lens to guide public administrators’ decision making, one informed by the theory and practice of mass atrocity prevention. This perspective recognizes that the decisions and actions of public administrators in response to the pandemic will influence whether individual countries and the global community writ large will be at increased risk of mass atrocities or if they will be more resilient and better positioned to prevent such atrocities. The COVID-19 pandemic represents both an imperative and an opportunity to reduce risks of mass atrocities, and public administrators have a vital role to play in this process.
