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.

代议制官僚主义理论与白人和男子气概的隐含拥抱

在许多具有代表性的官僚主义文献中，学者们主要关注的是在专业劳动力中被视为其他人的人的代表——有色人种和女性。然而，白人和男子气概一直是公共行政作为学术和实践领域发展的核心。作为一个领域，我们经常避免关于影响白度和阳刚之气的明确讨论。我们认为，围绕种族和性别的沉默具有重大意义。我们以代表性官僚机构为框架，试图强调在我们的学术研究中承认白人和男子气概如何有助于更全面地了解公共行政中的种族和性别。
