Tackling wicked problems in performance management and governance of public health: an empirical analysis of COVID-19 vaccination strategies

2023

PurposePublic health strategies and activities are intrinsically complex.

Existent performance measures and management systems for public health are not designed to cope with wickedness since they are mainly focused on inputs and outputs, neglecting broader outcomes because of their long-term impact and the poor accountability of results. This research aims to tackle this shortfall by adopting a dynamic performance management (DPM) appro…

Moral Language in Child Protection Research

2017

This article is based on a philosophical analysis of moral language in academic journal articles that concern child death cases.

Immediacy and distance in teacher talk—A comparative case study in German elementary- and outdoor school-teaching
