Feminist programming, no matter the venue, provides opportunities
for young girls and women, as well as men, to acquire leadership
skills and the confidence to create sustainable social change.
Offering a wide-ranging overview of different types of feminist
engagement, the chapters in this volume challenge readers to
critically examine accepted cultural norms both in and out of
schools, and speak out about oppression and privilege. To
understand the various pathways to feminism and feminist identity
development, this collection brings together scholars from
education, women's studies, sociology, and community development to
examine ways in which to integrate feminism and women's studies
into education through pedagogy, practice, and activism.
The relationship between evil and public affairs, as well as other
fields and professions in public life, has come to the fore as
institutions of government seek new ways to operate in an
environment of extreme mistrust. Unmasking Administrative Evil, 5th
Edition argues that the tendency toward administrative evil, as
manifested in acts of dehumanization and genocide, is deeply woven
into the identity of public affairs. Indeed, ordinary people may
simply act appropriately in their organizational role-in essence,
just doing what those around them would agree they should be
doing-and at the same time, participate in what a critical and
reasonable observer, usually well after the fact, would call evil.
Even worse, under conditions of moral inversion, ordinary people
can all too easily engage in acts of administrative evil while
believing that what they are doing is not only correct, but in
fact, good. This 5th edition offers important updates, including: A
thorough discussion of contemporary virtue ethics as the field has
evolved to offer an alternative to technical/rational ethics. An
all-new three-part structure (What is Administrative Evil?, History
and Cases, and The Future of Ethics in Praetorian Times) designed
to aid in course organization and instruction. All-new cases,
including an examination of the Flint water disaster, to provide
contemporary examples of how populations can be marginalized and
harmed by administrative processes that are blind to their
consequences until it is too late. Laying the groundwork for a more
ethical and democratic public life - one that recognizes its
potential for evil, and avoids state-sponsored dehumanization and
destruction - Unmasking Administrative Evil, 5th Edition is
required reading for all students of administrative ethics and
public service ethics, as well those in other administrative
sciences.
The concept of community development is often misunderstood,
holding different meanings across different academic disciplines.
Moreover, the concept of community development has been
historically abstracted, not only in the way the concept has been
conceptualized in academic studies, but also by the way in which
practitioners use the term in the vernacular. Departing from
traditional definitions of community development, this volume
applies the New Public Service (NPS) perspective of Public
Administration to community development to illustrate how public
administrators and public managers can engage in community
development planning and implementation that results in more
equitable and sustainable long-term outcomes. This book will be of
interest to practitioners and researchers in public
administration/management, public administration theory, community
development, economic development, urban sociology, urban politics,
and urban planning.

When the 2011 municipal takeover in Flint, Michigan placed the city
under state control, some supported the intervention while others
saw it as an affront to democracy. Still others were ambivalent
about what was supposed to be a temporary disruption. However, the
city's fiscal emergency soon became a public health emergency-the
Flint Water Crisis-that captured international attention. But how
did Flint's municipal takeovers, which suspended local
representational government, alter the local political system? In
Power, Participation, and Protest in Flint, Michigan, Ashley
Nickels addresses the ways residents, groups, and organizations
were able to participate politically-or not-during the city's
municipal takeovers in 2002 and 2011. She explains how new politics
were created as organizations developed, new coalitions emerged and
evolved, and people's understanding of municipal takeovers changed.
Inwalking readers through the policy history of, implementation of,
and reaction to Flint's two municipal takeovers, Nickels highlights
how the ostensibly apolitical policy is, in fact, highly political.
