“…However, while many review articles rely on PAR data alone, some articles in the public personnel subfield have sought to broaden the analysis by turning to journals in that specific area. Bearfield (2013) analyzed PAR and ROPPA content relating to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Houston and Delevan (1990) examined the contours of public personnel literature through ROPPA and PPM which they considered the two most important subfield journals.…”

Throughout much of representative bureaucracy literature, scholars have primarily focused on the representation of people seen as other in the professional workforce-people of color and women. However, whiteness and masculinity have been central to the development of public administration as a field of scholarship and practice. As a field, we have often avoided explicit discussions regarding the impact whiteness and masculinity. We argue that silences around race and gender have significant implications. Using representative bureaucracy as a frame, we seek to highlight how acknowledging whiteness and masculinity in our scholarship can help provide a more comprehensive understanding of race and gender in public administration. Evidence for Practice• Traditionally discussions of representation in public administration focus on women and people of color, overlooking the ways that whiteness and masculinity have shaped outcomes in our field. • By directly addressing whiteness and masculinity in public administration scholarship, the field can gain a deeper understanding of race, gender, and inequity.
