- dg.o 2021, with a special focus on the theme "</span> <b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Digital Innovations for Public Values: Inclusive Collaboration and Community</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">".
the Digital Governance and Analytics Lab, the School of Public Administration, the Center for Public Affairs Research, and the College of Public Affairs and Community Service, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska on June 9-11, 2021. The dg.o conferences
are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference brings together
scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to rigor of theory and relevance of practice, their focus on important and timely topics and the quality of their writing.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

The doctoral colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research.
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Ph.D. students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants
will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect students at this stage
of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work and the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to submit an application. Material provided
in applications to the doctoral colloquium will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo.</span>
