J.E. Hodgetts Award
Award for the best article in English appearing in the journal Canadian Public Administration. The Inuit Inukshuk trophy is presented to the winning author(s) at the annual IPAC Conference.
This annual award was created in 1992, in honour of one of the deans in the field of public administration scholarship, J.E. "Ted" Hodgetts.
IPAC celebrates outstanding scholarship with two awards to acknowledge the best of Canadian Public Administration's articles in both English and French. The J.E. Hogdetts Award goes to the finest article in English. (The Roland Parenteau Award goes to the finest article published in French.)
Canadian Public Administration, a refereed scholarly publication, is committed to the examination of the structures, processes, outputs and outcomes of public policy and public management. It publishes material related to executive, legislative, judicial and quasi-judicial functions at all three levels of Canadian government.
Created in 1958, the CPA has been a trail-blazing publication and one of the pioneers in laying the scholarly foundations for public administration studies in Canada.
