“…Along with these technical developments, we have also seen public administration scholars work toward more inclusive research approaches. Examples have included coproduction of research with public service users and communities (Durose et al, 2021) and the development of research designs and methods that demand inclusion of people with disabilities as researchers, rather than only as the subjects of research (Warr et al, 2017). At the same time, calls for indigenous research sovereignty in public administration have grown, questioning long‐held methodological approaches, identifying injustices of Western research, and calling for transformative change (Williams et al, 2020).…”

Research in the field of public administration has changed and advanced significantly in recent years. These advancements concern both how we engage in research-such as the methods we apply, the interdisciplinary nature of the theories we use, and the research questions we ask. Increasingly, we are witnessing a shift in public-sector values away from efficiency and effectiveness and toward a paradigm that highlights equity. In this article, we reflect on these changes from our position as editors-in-chief of some of the leading journals in the field. In addition to describing the progress of this discipline, we explore emerging windows of opportunity for new research. One such window is research on ways to incorporate interdisciplinary perspectives and methods. We also see the need for work in such areas as social equity, comparative administration, artificial intelligence, and climate change. Finally, we argue for a more proactive approach in disseminating research to those involved in the day-to-day decision-making processes of public organizations. | INTRODUCTIONThe role of public administration emerged with the development of the first formal governments. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs deployed servants to do their bidding and tax collectors to find and manage the flow of resources (El Baradei, 2021;Ferlie et al., 2005). The first concerted effort to improve public management practices occurred in

“…as communal’ and ‘communities, not individuals, are the primary loci of knowledge’ (Nelson, 1993: 131). The term co-production sits alongside a challenging of disciplinary boundaries (May and Perry, 2022) as a form of transdisciplinary knowledge production (Durose et al, 2021).…”

Co-production as praxis: Critique and engagement from within the university

This paper takes as its starting point the question of whether there is an inherent tension between co-production and critique. Whilst the former requires engagement, proximity, situatedness, an inclusive definition of expertise and an action-orientation, the latter has traditionally been equated with disengagement, distance, academic expertise and theory-building. Tracing both the critique of co-production and the critique of critique, I suggest that co-producing critique could be one basis for rescuing both from their detractors. Drawing on my experiences in the Realising Just Cities programme (2010–2020), I argue that co-producing critique from within the university requires designing boundary spaces, intermediating between knowledge claims and balancing between articulated and attributed values for co-production. This gives rise to co-production as an epistemic praxis, not method, characterised by boundary work, epistemic choreography and triple shifting. I argue that whilst academics should argue for altogether different kinds of institutions, there is also value in recognising how we are tethered to our institutions. More attention should be paid to choreographing universities into, rather than out, of critical-engaged work, in order to mobilise their privilege and position for social justice.
