As scholars, we pay significant attention to our research, often to the detriment of recognizing the potential for merging our research with teaching through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). However, given our students’ leadership positions, SoTL-related work is vital to their success. In this article, we have come together to reflect on the state of SoTL’s work in public administration. Through this reflection, we explore the windows of opportunity for research that we see emerging. Included among these opportunities is the need for research on how we can best serve students in and out of the classroom, as well as research the most effective way of managing our programs. We also see the need for research into faculty development, instructional design, and the return on investment for a public administration degree. Lastly, we argue for improved recognition of the value and contribution of SoTL-related work in tenure and promotion standards.}, journal={JOURNAL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS EDUCATION}, author={Mcdonald, Bruce D. and Hatcher, William and Bacot, Hunter and Evans, Michelle D. and Mccandless, Sean A. and Mcdougle, Lindsey M. and Young, Sarah L. and Elliott, Ian C. and Emas, Rachel and Lu, Elaine Yi and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Dec} }

Public affairs specialists generally go on to manage complex partnerships that involve a wide array of participants. Public administration education ought to do its part to ensure these graduates succeed. In this sense, we offer comparative public administration (CPA) as an effective, multipurpose tool for disassembling public monuments to parochialism and sculpting competent practitioners that reflect our stated desires for a more inclusive orientation. First, we seek to define CPA and consider its relative importance. Next, we assess how CPA is currently taught in Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs within the United States. The focus then shifts to discussing how MPA programs should be teaching CPA and proposes learning outcomes. Finally, we offer tools for attaining these outcomes.}, journal={JOURNAL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS EDUCATION}, author={Leight, Matthew D. and Abbott, Michaela}, year={2022}, month={May} }
