- Policy at the Playhouse“All art is political in the sense that it serves someone’s politics.” – August Wilson Theatre can bolster the status quo. It can foment revolution. It can make us question our identities and the identities of those around us. It makes us yearn and strive. It gives us closure. It leaves us wanting more. Theatre is a weapon. It holds up a mirror. It is politics. Theatre dissolves the distance between people. Theatre exposes humanity and inhumanity. Theatre connects us. The Policy at the Playhouse podcast features conversations about how art, theater in particular, is an integral part of our civic lives allowing us to question and inform our conceptions of citizenship and community. This podcast continues our ongoing efforts to bring policy and its impact into the public discourse, recognizing that citizens inform themselves in many different arenas.

The FEVS is sexy

Resh's article garners professional attention - strengthening scholarly-practitioner relationships and making governance more effective

Resh’s article garners professional attention – strengthening scholarly-practitioner relationships and making governance more effective

An article in the May/June issue (V75.3) of Public Administration Review, is garnering media and more importantly, professional attention. Assessing the Past and Promise of the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), authored by Sergio Fernandez, William G. Resh, Tima Moldogaziev, and Zachary W. Oberfield, has already been getting some professional notice. Fernandez was interviewed by Federal News Radio on Tuesday, April 14th. Government Executive, with its audience of federal government employees and stakeholders each month, also released a lengthy piece about the PAR article.

Important to note about the coverage is how the FEVS can strengthen practitioner-scholar partnerships; and the author’s call for “OPM, the Government Accountability Office, and other stakeholders to put together a working group that includes researchers who can help improve the design and implementation of FEVS,” can improve data for research and practice.

Colleague @billresh is “getting substantial media and professional notice” for saying the FEVS is sexy. http://t.co/qNQ6aX2ETi @PAReview
