Reflections On the Journal of Public Affaisrs Education at 15it is an important bridge to faculty — the key stakeholders in our educationinstitutions. Thus, JPAE is yielding important dividends for NASPAA.The second difference involving JPAE was helping to legitimate the scholarshipof teaching. As a refereed journal, JPAE provides an outlet for thoughtful faculty tomake a public case about their pedagogies, experiences, and insights. The journalhas helped elevate the status of scholarship about teaching and other facets ofpublic affairs education. More importantly, JPAE makes the scholarship of teachingmore public, more transparent, and more accessible to all in the profession. In myview, this is an extraordinary change for our field, and a notable step forward.Concluding ReflectionsI want to conclude my reflections with an observation about JPAE’s substance.Having been involved with the journal since its founding, I would categorizethis observation as a “pleasant surprise.” The pleasant surprise is how diverse theeditorial content of JPAE has become, while, simultaneously, there has been agrowing volume of manuscripts. In Dan Balfour’s reflection from the Winter 2010issue of JPAE, he recounted the significant uncertainty that surrounded us, whilewe wondered whether there would be enough manuscripts to sustain the journalover time. As he noted, only three peer-reviewed articles appeared in the first issue.Much of Volume 1 contained invited contributions that appeared in the SpecialIssues feature section. This uncertainty about the supply of quality content did notdissipate, even by the time I concluded my term as editor. I regularly editorializedabout the content I wanted to see and we regularly signaled our editorial interestsin particular submissions, by using calls for papers on specific symposia topicsand other editorial devices, as a way of sustaining our supply of manuscripts.The expansion of the journal to four issues annually also created a need for moremanuscripts.As I look at the nine volumes of JPAE that were published following my termas editor, I marvel at how diverse the content has become. Volume 15 containeda total of 30 articles — more than three times the content of Volume 1. Evenmore impressive is the diversity of its subject matter. I never envisioned some ofthe topics that now appear in the pages of JPAE. In my view, this more diversecontent does not reflect a turn toward more esoteric topics, but rather it shows thewillingness of scholars to step forward and address a wide range of issues that areimportant to faculty, administrators, students, and other stakeholders in publicaffairs education.Neither the increase in JPAE’s quality content, nor its diversification,were foregone conclusions when the journal was founded. The expansion andheterogeneity of JPAE’s content testifies to the power of need and opportunity. Asa former JPAE editor, I am grateful that so many of my colleagues from aroundthe world responded to George Frederickson’s vision for advancing substantivedialogue about public affairs education.Journal of Public Affairs Education 121
