Public Voices

Public Voices is a unique journal that focuses on historical, artistic and reflective expression concerning public administrators and the public service. Unlike traditional social science journals, it publishes unorthodox, controversial perspectives on bureaucracy in particular and the public sector in general.

Public Voices is published by National Center for Public Performance (NCPP) at the School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA), Rutgers University – Campus at Newark. It is the official journal of the Section on Historical, Artistic and Reflective expression of the American Society for Public Administration (SHARE).

Call for Manuscripts, Book and Film Reviews

We seek submissions from public servants, writers, artists, and academics in all fields. In addition to analytical articles, submissions may include original fiction, poetry, photographs, art, critiques of existing works, and insights based on experience, observation and research. Especially encouraged are manuscripts that explore ethical dilemmas and public controversies, discuss value conflicts, or generate new ideas for improving public service and public organizations. Personal essays that relate fictionalized experiences in government agencies are equally welcome. We also welcome reviews of novels, literature, popular fiction, a series of works by one author, scholarly books, films, art, etc.

All submissions are evaluated on a blind, peer reviewed basis.

For manuscripts, submit five copies, with the author's name and affiliation on a separate cover page, to:
