Decolonising Public Administration: Rethinking Public Governance and Policy

Part of the 2025 IIPP Forum: Rethinking the State, this panel marks the culminating event of the Decolonising Public Administration series—an initiative by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) and UCL Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP). This series explores decolonial perspectives and decolonising praxis efforts in public administration, governance, scholarship and policy. Supported by a grant from the UCL Grand Challenges Special Initiative: 2024/25 Decolonising Research Methodologies and Practices, and with generous backing from UCL IIPP, the series has featured two hands-on Policy Hackathon Workshops. Click here to find out more about our hackathon workshops. Designed as collaborative, interdisciplinary, and creative hands-on engagements focused on equitable and just approaches to policy and systems design, the workshops brought together students, public officials, researchers, artists, activists, designers, residents, and others to collectively reimagine public institutions, governance, policy, and systems design through the lens of decolonial praxis, dialogue, and participatory action research. This final panel discussion brings together a vibrant lineup of panel speakers from those workshops, reflecting on their experiences and own work, exploring what decolonial perspectives offer to public administration and what decolonising praxis looks like in practice, concerning how it is (1) understood and taught, (2) practised and researched, and (3) created and experienced—both within and beyond the classroom. The conversation will spotlight key insights and reflections that emerged from the workshops, as well as ongoing questions around what it truly means to rethink public institutions and value through decolonial perspectives and decolonising praxis, especially for decolonising futures.
