A new report says that Memorial University is in a strong position to promote a new approach to public policy and governance in Newfoundland and Labrador. The report specifically cites the role of MUN’s Harris Centre in facilitating discussion and debate on topics including policy development, local and regional governance models, and best practices. The authors of the report, MUN political science professor Russell Williams and political science MA student Lucy MacDonald, suggest that the Harris Centre could foster a more collaborative style of governance. “The Harris Centre is a key mechanism for rethinking public policy and governance structure. Through its ongoing workshops, research and public sessions, the Centre can facilitate policy learning, be a conduit for new ideas and bring local, national and international players together all with a goal of improved public policy and governance for the province,” said Williams.
