Biography
Susan Meyers Chandler is Professor of Public Administration and Associate Director of the Public Policy Center in the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, USA.
"Chandler… builds bridges between collaboration research and on-the-ground practice. If you are an academic, you can follow the research trails and see what still needs fresh investigation. If you are a convener or facilitator, especially in the tradition of Donald Schon’s ‘reflective practitioner’, you will find insights that will turbo-charge your work. Read it, use it, and improve public administration at a time when improvement is very much needed." – Peter S. Adler, The ACCORD 3.0 Network, USA
