Defending and Promoting Civic Space: Citizen Engagement, the Civic Square, and SDG16 Thurs. 4:15 – 4:35pm EDT Civic space is a necessary condition for the achievement of the ambitious goals of SDG16 to achieve inclusive, peaceful societies. Those civic squares are eroding in the face of numerous challenges. Their defense and expansion requires well contextualized support from a range of actors. What are NASPAA schools currently doing on the research, curriculum and experiential learning front to prepare graduates to navigate the complex landscape of contention over civic spaces? How can reaching beyond the academy to governmental, nongovernmental and international actors contribute to this effort? The panelists will offer brief thoughts on these issues and invite the audience to contribute from their own experiences.

The Civic Square symbolizes the physical and mental space for planning, implementing, reporting and evaluating projects for the community’s future. Using GIS and Geo-Design, citizens participate in and provide ideas and energy to build out its dimensions: economic, social and political. Inclusion and empowerment are key to these experiences.

Aside from all the effects on people, health systems and the economy, COVID-19 has challenged both democratic governing institutions and public services in ways not seen in decades. What has the impact been on how we practice and teach public policy and administration? While it is clear that there will be a new normal post-COVID, the key questions center on what the tipping points for public administration will be. This panel will explore some early findings in Canada and the USA. Panelists will then provide insights into the impact this will have on public policy and administration education.
