Podcast appearances and mentions of amanda bittner

Meta is changing how it fact-checks or moderates what is said on its platforms. That raises concerns about a potential increase in racist and anti-LGBTQ-plus comments. Meta's new guidelines have prompted one person to shake her head and announce her departure from the platforms. CBC's Leila Beaudoin spoke with Amanda Bittner from Memorial University about the situation.

What will the prime minister's decision to step down mean for the federal Liberals -- and for an upcoming election? MUN Political scientist Amanda Bittner gave us her take.

Regardless who wins the American election, Kamala Harris is still "breaking the glass ceiling" as the first woman of colour with a major party to run for president of the United States. You can celebrate that while watching election returns with others Tuesday night at a special event organized by PerSIStence Theatre. The troupe's producing artistic director and chair drop by the On The Go studio to extend the invitation. (Krissy Holmes with Jenn Deon and Amanda Bittner)

We spoke with MUN political scientist Amanda Bittner about her take on the provincial political scene, and whether she thinks there may be a provincial election call soon.

Premier Andrew Furey gave a State of the Province speech at the St. John's Board of Trade meeting yesterday, while the opposition continues to criticize his government's work. Is it politics as usual, or might there be hints of a provincial election around the corner? Amanda Bittner is a political scientist at Memorial University.

While it may not have been unexpected, the federal NDP's dealt a brutal blow to the governing Liberal party last week. For more on what that means for our province, we spoke with MUN political scientist Amanda Bittner.

Last week, Premier Andrew Furey announced a surprise cabinet shuffle. Eight ministers now have new positions. John Hogan is minister of health and community services, attorney general and government House leader. Lisa Dempster is leaving Indigenous Affairs, to be minister of environment and climate change, Labrador affairs, labour and Workplace N.L., as well as deputy government House leader. With several ministers taking on multiple portfolios, how they will balance the workload and truly focus on the key issues? Amanda Bittner is a political psychologist.

2024 has so far delivered three byelections in the province... and in all cases the seats have changed from red to blue. A MUN Political Science professor joins us for a look at what the results are telling us. (Krissy Holmes with Amanda Bittner)

Owen Burt has supported the provincial Liberal party for years, volunteering on several Liberal campaigns and publicly supporting Premier Andrew Furey. Burt is currently running as the Liberal candidate in the Baie Verte-Green Bay byelection, but he's ALSO a member of the federal Conservative Party. Amanda Bittner, a professor of political science at Memorial University weighs in on the situation.

When Progressive Conservative Jim McKenna won the Fogo Island-Cape Freels by-election this week, it flipped a district that had been Liberal since it was created in 2015. McKenna took the district by more than a thousand votes over the Liberal candidate. He says important issues for rural voters, such as ferry service and the inshore fishery, have been ignored by the Furey government. To find out whether McKenna's election is a one-off, or could be an indication of more change to come, we reached political psychologist Amanda Bittner. at Memorial University.

My first crossover episode! Jenny Wright and Amanda Bittner, hosts of the podcast "The Academic and the Activist," come to MY podcast to talk about what they're reading now, the books that shaped their feminist sensibilities, and how Nice White Ladies are, unfortunately, gonna kill everyone (and how reading widely can help us NWLs, you know, not do that).

In this season we look at different issues surrounding elections. In the fourth episode we talk to Professor Amanda Bittner from Memorial University about leaders of political parties. From an outsider perspective it seem obvious that who leads a party would matter to voters. However the research on this does not always show that this is the case. We discuss party leaders' role in democracies and whether that role is changing.

Melanee Thomas and Amanda Bittner have assembled a fascinating and important exploration of the role, understanding, and perceptions of mothers and motherhood within the realm of politics. Mothers and Others: The Role of Parenthood in Politics (University of British Columbia Press, 2017) opens up many avenues for understanding and considering what we mean and what we think about when the concept and reality of motherhood is introduced into political dynamics. This relationship, which is often a tension, as explored in the book, includes those who have run for and occupied elected office, have been appointed to public office, or have otherwise held public office. The book moves beyond this arena to consider, as well, how motherhood is communicated and why it is communicated in the ways that it is or where it is perhaps subsumed—and thus not communicated—by those running for office. Much of the discussion within Mothers and Others is also the contrast between how motherhood is seen for female public officials and how it is perceived in relation to male public officials. Many readers will be familiar with the different approach that the media has towards female candidates, especially around the issues of balancing home life and public life, but this collection of essays delves deeply into not only this overt example, but how and why this has come to frame our consumption of candidates for office. The final section of the book examines the perspective from citizens themselves—with research exploring how and when individuals who are mothers or fathers become involved in politics and how this shifts and changes over time. This section also helps the reader to think about what we, ourselves, understand about our own political knowledge and that of our fellow citizens, and how and where we may utilize that knowledge in many of the decisions we make, from voting and civic engagement to economic consumption. Thomas and Bittner both start and conclude the book by highlighting the need for more research and analysis, especially in regard to our understanding of the public workplace and how and where women and mothers have been incorporated into that space, but also how they remain outsiders in that space. This book will be of interest to many readers across a host of disciplines, as it is a complex comparative study—incorporating data and analysis from a host of different political systems, countries, cultures, and perspectives.
