Carleton University’s Amanda Clarke, assistant professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration, will discuss how the Canadian federal government has transitioned into the digital age and adjusted to the expectation of open data at an upcoming Author Meets Readers event.
Clarke is the author of Opening the Government of Canada: The Federal Bureaucracy in the Digital Age.
When: Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019, at 5:30 p.m.
Where: Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street, Ottawa
This event is full. However, media are invited to attend.
Clarke’s research explores the intersections of public administration, civic engagement and information technologies. She is one of the Faculty of Public Affairs’ Research Excellence Chairs.
Opening the Government of Canada: The Federal Bureaucracy in the Digital Age examines how the federal government has adapted to the digital age from the mid-2000s to present day. The book uncovers a striking tension between the bureaucracy’s tradition of closed government and the dictates of governing in an age defined by open, networked technologies. The book speaks to broader questions on the effectiveness and democratic legitimacy of our federal government.
Clarke will be joined by Prof. Luc Juillet (University of Ottawa) and Taki Sarantakis, president of the Canada School of Public Service.
This event is part of the Ottawa International Writer’s Festival.
