It was great to take the PhD course in network governance and present my work on administrative burden at this year's @irspm.bsky.social conference. Truly a great conference in a beautiful city, and with great scholarship! #IRSPM2025 #Administrativeburden #Publicadministration

this has been an inspiring way to launch the #IRSPM2025 experience in #Bologna. Thank you to all participants and faculty for making this such a meaningful beginning! #PhDCourse #CollaborativeGovernance #NetworkGovernance #PublicManagement #AcademicCommunity #GOMAP #disaunibo #unibo

Another successful ASPA conference. It was exciting to discuss the future of nonprofits and have some serious conversations about loneliness and citizen/service effectiveness. Time to leave the cherry blossoms and depart for IRSPM. #ASPA2025 #IRSPM #IRSPM2025 #ASPA #publicadministration

This article seems to be making the rounds. To say that this is willfully ignorant of history and a discipline is an understatement. Paranoid and delusional is a good start. americanmind.org/salvo/denize...

Starting this year on a high note. Candidacy, and now my first publication is out in Administration & Society. Check out my paper on the potnetial future of public management post-Chevron. #Chevron #publicadministration #publicadmin #pascholar

"In 1946, the government employed about 2.5 million workers and ran a budget of $628 billion; in 2023, it had only half a million more workers, but its budget stood at $4.6 trillion. How does the government disburse this colossal budget? Through contracting." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I am so happy to say that I am officially a doctoral candidate. My dissertation is composed of three essays addressing organizational change through populist emotional sentiment. More specifically, I use the lenses of instititutional work, logic, and interaction rituals.

You ever just look at an old paper you worked on and think...

In my first ASPA PA Times article of the year I briefly discuss executive appointments not subject to Senate confirmation. Specifically, those often deemed as "czars," and how it may stem from the growing tendency to enhance presidential control over policy issues.
