Over the past two years, scholars and practitioners have engaged in annual dialogues to examine the complexities of camp governance structures, processes, and outcomes.

Today, we are pleased to launch a Special Collection of the IMS Policy and Working Paper Series that features 11 contributions exploring key aspects of camp governance, including systemic, participatory, spatial, and social dimensions.

The collection highlights refugee agency, innovative governance frameworks, and the challenges of protracted displacement

You should not use AI for producing your papers!!!! We are seeing more of this submitted to JPART and only find it because we read each and every submission whether it's send for review or desk rejected. Just had a case where a paper hallucinated references not existing. Stop!

Happening Now! This panel dives into the vital role nonprofits play as agents of democracy both in the U.S. and internationally. From shaping public policy to building trust, nonprofits bridge gaps where government may struggle. #NASPAA2024

[School of Public Affairs @AU_SPA]

Prof. @abouassi raises an essential question: Are we focusing too much on technical skills in public service education? Without a holistic view, students might miss the bigger picture. Real-world experiences, like travel to Egypt, can deepen their understanding of democracy beyond voting. #NASPAA2024

[School of Public Affairs @AU_SPA]

Nonprofits aren’t just service providers—they’re voices for their communities! How are we preparing students for impactful careers in this field? SPA Prof. @abouassi & panelists David Campbell (@BingMPA), Jennifer Alexander (@UTSA), @RobbieRobichau, Roseanne Mirabella (@SHUCHDCM), & Tara Bryan (@UTBakerSchool) explore this critical question.

[Jaclyn Piatak @JaclynPiatak]
