This class is online.

Our focus this week is on the importance of public participation in public administration and policy- making. Here is the agenda for the class.

1. Readings:

Nabatchi, and Leighninger, The Future of Public Administration: Better Design, Better Laws, Better Systems (on canvas).

2. Watch the two videos by Nabatchi and Leighninger on public participation.
