The
Section on Intergovernmental Administration and Management (SIAM) invites ASPA
members to submit proposals for papers to be presented at the 2016 Deil S.
Wright Symposium. The symposium honors the career and contributions of
Professor Deil S. Wright, who was a charter member of SIAM and remained active until
his passing in 2009. The Wright Symposium will be held as a preconference event
at the 2016 ASPA national conference in Seattle. The all-day meeting will
feature morning student research sessions, and workshops on research and
academic careers in intergovernmental management. The afternoon symposium will feature
roundtables and research paper presentations as well as panel discussion on the
Section’s mission. The afternoon sessions will feature research panels (up to
12 papers).
The theme
of the afternoon symposium is “Intergovernmental Management in Transition” Proposed
workshop and research panel paper topics are invited relating to the following
topical questions:
How
prepared are local managers to deal with ethical and accountability issues
arising from the abuse of discretionary authority by public safety personnel?
Has
public administration education kept abreast of developments and related competencies
in collaborative governance?
What
are the latest theories, emerging issues, and research results in metropolitan
governance?
What
trends and innovations, in the United States or other countries, could significantly
affect the future course of intergovernmental management?
Proposals should be sent to Carl Stenberg (stenberg@sog.unc.edu), David Hamilton
(david.hamilton@ttu.edu), and Richard Feiock (rfeiock@fsu.edu) by October 1,
2015.
