Connecting public sector leaders with current public policy and public management research — curated, accessible and grounded in real-world relevance.

Curated with purpose

Bringing research closer to practice.

The Bridge is curated by Maria Katsonis, a former senior public servant with more than 20 years’ experience and a deep understanding of how policy, leadership and systems operate in practice.

Maria brings a practitioner’s lens to academic research — selecting, shaping and contextualising insights so they are relevant to the realities of public service. Her curation ensures research does not sit on the shelf, but supports better thinking and better action.

Meet the curator

Where research meets real-world decision-making.

Every fortnight, subscribers receive a free email that distils current academic research into a clear, practical format — helping public sector leaders stay informed, think systemically, and apply evidence with confidence.

What is The Bridge?

Launched by ANZSOG in March 2020, The Bridge connects public managers with research that informs public governance and strengthens leadership practice.

Each edition brings together:

  • Curated summaries of relevant academic research

  • Practitioner-focused insights and commentary

  • Research Briefs designed for quick, practical reading

The result is insight that respects the complexity of public service, without adding unnecessary burden.

I share it with my team for professional development and to broaden their reading. I value the format, the brevity, and the personal perspective.
