About
Inquiry of the Public Sort
Public affairs inquiry in the form of theoretical argumentation, empirical analysis, and informed commentary, authored by experienced and new public affairs scholars. Also houses content for Prof Carter’s Programs of Public Affairs students.
Note from the editor

Although Inquiry of the Public Sort entries are largely authored by graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Utah, we welcome guest authors. Contact David Carter (david.carter@mpa.utah.edu) if you are interested in authoring a guest entry.
