Mark Considine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Considine (born 1953) is an Australian political scientist, who specialises in public sector reform, and reforms of social services. Since 2018, he has been Provost of the University of Melbourne.[1] He is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia[2] and the Institute of Public Administration Australia.

Education

Considine was educated at Monivae College in Hamilton, Victoria and at the University of Melbourne, obtaining a BA with a major in political science. He obtained a PhD in 1986 with a focus on the politics of insurance.[3]

Career

Considine has held positions at La Trobe University, the Philip Institute (now RMIT University) and the Department of Premier and Cabinet (Victoria) before joining the University of Melbourne Department of Political Science in 1987. He became Head of Department in 1996, and was then appointed to a professorial research post at Deakin University in 1997. He returned to the University of Melbourne in 2000, and in 2007 he was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Arts where he served for ten years. In 2015 his leadership in teaching and research was recognised with the award as Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor.[4] He became provost of the university in 2018.  

He first came to prominence for work on public sector reform, managerialism and New Public Management. The other body of work for which he is well known internationally is his twenty-year longitudinal study of reforms to services for the unemployed in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands. Published in book form as Enterprising States,[5] a number of influential journal articles also flowed from these studies. The first of these joint papers with Jenny M. Lewis won the American Society for Public Administration's Dimock Award in 2000. They won a second major international research award, the Kooiman Prize of 2013[6] for another paper derived from this study. Considine has also made significant contributions to the study of higher education. His book with Simon Marginson, The Enterprise University remains one of the most-cited studies of the Australian system.[7] In 2001 the book won the American Educational Research Association's Outstanding Publication Award.[8]
