Research

Professor Green's research interests focus on the connections between constitutionalism, law and administration; the emergence of professionalism in public administration; and the contrast of communitarian and rights-based models of administration. He uses much of this work to critically analyze contemporary administrative ideas and practices. He has written articles and book chapters on founding-era public administration, on the history of public professions, on rhetoric in public administration, on public ethics, on legal thought in administration, and on human resources management issues.

His work has appeared in Public Administration Review, Administration & Society, American Review of Public Administration, Public Integrity, Public Administration Quarterly, Administrative Theory & Practice and the International Journal of Public Administration.

Professor Green's current research examines issues in employment status among the career ranks of public employees. He has two articles and a book chapter coauthored with doctoral students on the subject. He is also co-authoring a text on the foundations of American public administration that will come out in 2007.

Teaching

Professor Green has taught courses on public ethics and bureaucratic responsibility, administrative theory, public human resources administration, public management, criminal justice management, political economy, the history of public policy, doctoral research in public administration and American government. His primary teaching responsibilities at UofU include the Seminar in Public Administration Ethics, Administrative Theory, and the Capstone in Public Administration.
