Description:
TBS is partnering with the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS), the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to convene a Dialogue Study Team on Nimbleness, Accountability and Oversight in Times of Crisis. The project will connect knowledge mobilizers (scholars) with knowledge users (practitioners) to examine key challenges in public policy and administration facing Canada and to support dialogue and co-development of ideas between public servants and scholars to share emerging knowledge and practical insight. The teams will work in three sub-theme groups: 1- Decision-Making, 2- Internal Accountability Relationships, and 3- Government-Parliament Accountability, each led by an executive sponsor and lead scholar, and supported by a research assistant (graduate student). As well, the project will seek out and apply recent research to current and emerging challenges, and promote a multi-disciplinary approach anchored by public administration scholars to ensure insights are articulated to governance and public administration contexts. Findings of this table will be presented at a seminar hosted by the CSPS President and partners in spring 2021, and published by IPAC as part of its New Directions series.
