Brian Anse Patrick, an associate professor at the University of Toledo, has founded and is asking for submissions to an online, much-needed, interdisciplinary journal on the “vapid self-serving excess by administrative ‘elites’ that have adapted themselves to functioning at general social expense.”
Anyone interested in exposing administrative foibles might consider approaches such as the following:
-
Analyses of administrative rhetoric, themes, equivocations, techniques, either by methods of textual analysis or quantitative content analysis or by other means.
-
Econometric studies.
-
Comparative analyses.
-
Case studies.
-
Ethnomethodological or participant-observer studies.
-
Literature reviews.
-
Effects research.
-
Nomothetic or historical analyses.
-
Anthropological-based approaches
May the JAA thrive and grow.
