Public Policy PhD


ENMC

Recommended Posts

Waiting on U of Minn Humphrey (12/01/14), U of Wash Evans (1/15/15), and ASU Public Affairs (1/15/15).

 

I received a personal email from an ASU academic specialist that my application was complete when all my references posted.  Other than that, silence. 

 

So my potential intellectual competitor, what faculty are you interested in working with?  What areas of Policy do you hope to study?

Hi there! 

 

I´ve heard nothing so far but I´m trying to stay positive that I´ll be accepted somewhere.

 

Thematically, I´m interested in exploring topics at the intersection of health, gender and violence. From a public administration standpoint, I´m interested in program evaluation as a tool that can improve accountability and effective service delivery. There are several professors working on different aspects of those issues at the schools I applied to so I´m hopeful that at least one of them will be interested in working with me.   

 

BTW, someone found an older thread of Public affairs PhD. We should switch to that one!

Did you talk with any profs at Evans about strategy on applying?  I was told that they have a hard time getting administration people through the first gate, the admission tend to favor masters of econ who go for straight policy analysis.  There are some great profs working on institutional topics.  

 

My overarching interests are social welfare institutions, service delivery, and infrastructure. I am specifically interested in policy implementation, collaborative governance, and institutional risk prevention/response.. 

 

My wild hope is to be able to decide on a program, not have them decide for me.

 

Which thread?
