Dr. Matthew Incantalupo, assistant professor of political science at 麻豆官网首页入口, was awarded the Academy of Management Public and Nonprofit Division 2022 Best Paper Award for his paper 鈥�.鈥� The paper, which was published in Public Administration Review and co-written by Dr. Zachary Oberfield, professor and chair of political science at Haverford College, 鈥渂roadens our understanding of street-level governance by examining how citizen performance, organizational publicness, and group bias moderate racial discrimination among street-level managers (SLMs),鈥� according to the abstract. 鈥淲e examine this topic with an experiment in which we requested enrollment information from public and charter school principals while randomly assigning a putative student's race and ability. As expected, SLMs discriminated based on race, and positive performance information mitigated this discrimination. Surprisingly, negative performance information also reduced discrimination. Turning to publicness, we find no evidence that less public organizations (charter schools) exacerbated anti-Black discrimination. Finally, we show that White SLMs discriminated against Black citizens. However, Black SLMs worked in more administratively difficult settings and, perhaps as a result, responded at lower rates; thus, Black citizens were equally likely to receive responses from White and Black SLMs. Therefore, improving access to public agencies may require representativeness and support for SLMs working in challenging organizational environments.鈥� Dr. Incantalupo was also just conferred the 2021 APSA LGBTQ Caucus Bailey Award for his paper, 鈥淓lite Mobilization: A Theory Explaining Opposition to Gay Rights,鈥� The paper was derived from his book .
