Public Administration and/or Public Sociology

Abstract

Lately, disciplinary vocabulary seems to be outpacing disciplinary transformation. Disciplinary turns of phrase are intensified in public administration not only because it is literally a governing vocabulary but also because the discipline has never been an easily definable area of scholarship or practice. Although public administration research thus far has been focused on transformations within the discipline, my focus here is outward, toward sociology as a “contributing discipline.” I explore through the lens of the disciplinary convergence of public administration and public sociology the disciplinary dispersion of a public sentimentality that hopes to diverge with the world as it is.
