Do you cite the 1984, 1995, 2003, 2011, or 2013 edition of Kingdonโ€™s book? Iโ€™m asked this a lot, and the answer is non-obvious. My latest post should make life a little bit easier for those using the Multiple Streams framework (MSF) or analysis (MSA).

Does your practice match up? Tell me about it!

From Quiet Quitting to Quiet Firing: How Trump's RTO Mandate Reframed Remote Work as a Problem Trump's federal return-to-office mandate isn't just a workplace policyโ€”it represents a fundamental shift in how government defines the "problem" of remote work.

How did remote work become a "problem"?

My new piece explores the politics behind Trump's federal RTO mandate, drawing on my past work with the Telework Consortium and Kingdon's theory of problem definition.

Spoiler alert: It's not really about productivity ๐Ÿ‘€

About a year ago I joined Bluesky, and found it to be a lonely space. But roday, I reengaged. I hit โ€œFollow Backโ€ to hundreds of requests that had accumulated over the year, unseen.

I hope the buzz of academic energy continues well beyond todayโ€™s snowstorm!
