More Americans than ever are single but they're not happy about it. A new article in The Atlantic examines how the sexes are drifting apart, why more men are looking for a partner than women, and the side-effects of using an app rather than community to find a date. Then, political scientist Hahrie Han's new book “Undivided” explores why the racial solidarity program at an evangelical megachurch was more successful than corporate DEI programs, and how that success created unexpected challenges for the predominantly white church. Also this week: the Swiss make an A.I. Jesus, and a Chicago school kid makes a medical breakthrough.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/117695861/   0:00 - Intro   1:08 - Show Starts   2:47 - Theme Song   3:09 - Sponsor - Sundays Dog Food - Get 40% off your first order of Sundays.

In 2015, Crossroads Church, a majority-White evangelical megachurch based in Cincinnati, Ohio, launched a new program to address racial division and racism. In this episode, Hahrie Han discusses her new book Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church, which tells the story of this program and its participants, many of whom changed their thinking, behavior, and relationships after taking part. The impact of Crossroads's Undivided program demonstrates some of the elements of successful antiracist organizing —or organizing in general. These elements include sustained commitment, building relationships across difference, and empowering people to find their own solutions. Hahrie Han is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Professor of Political Science, the inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute, and the director of the P3 research lab at Johns Hopkins University. An elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, she has published four previous books. She was named a 2022 Social Innovation Thought Leader of the Year by the World Economic Forum's Schwab Foundation. She has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Republic, among other national publications. The daughter of Korean immigrants, she lives in Baltimore, Maryland. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/669326/undivided-by-hahrie-han/

In this TALKS episode, Tim engages in a profound conversation with political scientist Hahrie Han about her book 'Undivided,' which explores the quest for racial solidarity within the American church. The discussion delves into the complexities of faith, politics, and community engagement, highlighting the role of megachurches in social change and the challenges posed by Christian nationalism. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the importance of hope and the potential for churches to mobilize for the common good. Tim discusses the surprising political activity levels among various religious groups, highlighting atheists as the most politically active. He explores the differences between demand-side and supply-side problems in faith communities, emphasizing the need for better opportunities for discipleship.

What happens when a predominately-white evangelical megachurch in the Midwest creates a program to address racial inequity? Dr. Hahrie Han followed the journey of Crossroads Church in Ohio, where Pastor Chuck Mingo said he felt called by God to combat racial injustice, within the church and their wider Cincinnati community. Han's book is called Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church. She takes a deep look into a congregation's wrestling with race, political divisiveness and fraught political times. Han is a political scientist and the head of the SNF Agora Institute, a scholarly and public forum dedicated to advancing dialogue and civic engagement, at Johns Hopkins University.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

It's a wonder democracy works at all -- a collection of people with potentially different interests have to agree to abide by majority vote even when it goes against their desires. But as we know, it doesn't always work, and racial and ethnic tensions are one of its biggest challenges. Hahrie Han studies the ground-up workings of democracy, how people can come together to successfully enact change. In her new book Undivided: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church, she investigates an example where democracy apparently has worked remarkably well, and asks what lessons we can draw from it.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2024/09/23/290-hahrie-han-on-making-multicultural-democracy-work/Hahrie Han recieved her Ph.D. in political science from Stanford University.

Hahrie Han returns to The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about what she's been up to at the SNF Agora Institute and her recent book "UNDIVIDED: The Quest for Racial Solidarity in an American Church".

Host Curtis Chang is joined by Dr. Hahrie Han, a political scientist at Johns Hopkins University and the Director of the SNF Agora Institute, to explore how evangelical churches relate to racial and political issues. Drawing from her research on a multi-ethnic evangelical church in Cincinnati and insights from Redeeming Babel's "The After Party" project, Dr. Han reveals how cross-racial relationships within faith communities can help heal racial division and foster deeper belonging. Listeners will discover why facing questions of race and politics head-on, rather than reducing them to political buzzwords, can transform divisive issues into shared experiences that unite communities.   Listen to Songs For the After Party, get sheet music, lyrics, and prayers for your church.   Bring The After Party course to your church or small group!    Let the Good Faith podcast “Stack Your Shelf.” Enter HERE to win 16 books by friends of the pod.   Join Curtis Chang in person:   See Curtis Chang and David French at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC See Curtis Chang and Tim Alberta at Wheaton College   Referenced in this episode:   Read Robert Putnam's book Bowling Alone (Amazon) Learn more about Crossroads Church in Cincinnati Learn more about the Undivided Program Learn more about Pastor Chuck Mingo Listen to Curtis and David's Good Faith conversation about “white replacement theory” with Chuck Mingo Listen to Curtis's Good Faith conversation about churches who exploit political controversies with Chuck Mingo   Explore Hahrie Han's work:   Hahrie's work at John Hopkins's P3 Lab Read Hahrie Han's book Undivided  Explore Hahrie Han's other books HERE  

This conversation was originally recorded for the Rural Assembly Everywhere virtual event. In this episode, Center for Rural Strategies President Dee Davis sits down with political scientists Kathy Cramer, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Hahrie Han from Johns Hopkins University. They discuss the challenges facing American democracy, rural resentment and economic populism, and what it means to rebuild trust in struggling communities.

For all that has been written about the Inflation Reduction Act, the most salient fact about it remains widely underappreciated. What is significant about the bill is not just that it sends an enormous amount of money toward climate solutions, but that the money is almost entirely uncapped.The total amount of federal money that will be spent on climate solutions via the IRA will be determined not by any preset limit, but by demand for the tax credits. The more qualified applicants that seek them, the more will be spent. The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill's spending at $391 billion, but a report last year from Credit Suisse put the number at $800 billion and a more recent Goldman Sachs report put it closer to $1.2 trillion.Big companies will have teams of lawyers to tell them when they qualify for the tax credits, but there are also billions of dollars in the IRA that are meant to be spent on vulnerable and underserved communities. Those communities do not typically have teams of lawyers.Who will work to enable them to take full advantage available of the money? Getting that done will require campaigns, relationships, and grassroots mobilization. It will require movement infrastructure.A relatively new grant-making coalition called Mosaic is attempting to help build that infrastructure by dispersing money to the frontline organizations that comprise it. Mosaic is a cooperative effort among large national environmental groups like NRDC, big foundations, and various smaller regional, often BIPOC-led groups.It has pooled philanthropic money and thus far given almost $11 million of it to dozens of relatively small groups and campaigns — 85 percent of them BIPOC-led, 87 percent of them female-led — selected by a governing committee from well over a thousand applicants. The governing committee contains a super-majority of representatives from frontline communities; the foundations have a super-minority.To discuss the need for movement infrastructure, the Mosaic effort, and the possibilities IRA offers for frontline communities, I contacted Dr. Hahrie Han, a professor of political science at Johns Hopkins University, and David Beckman, one of the founders of Mosaic and the current president of the Pisces Foundation. We talked about what movement infrastructure is, the failure of the climate movement to build enough of it, and Mosaic's theory of change. Get full access to Volts at www.volts.wtf/subscribe

Our recent big win on climate legislation owes much to the grassroots organizing that CCL and others provided. More solutions will be needed to meet our climate goals — like a price on carbon! — which means more grassroots organizing. Joining us this month is CCL Advisory Board member Hahrie Han, who specializes in the transformational process that empowers volunteers to be effective advocates. Dr. Han is a Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University and the Inaugural Director of the SNF Agora Institute, which strengthens global democracy through powerful civic engagement and informed, inclusive dialogue. She is the author of several books, her most recent being Prisms of the People: Power & Organizing in Twenty-First-Century America.

Professor Hahrie Hahn returns to The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about her book "Prisms of the People" and her new role at SNF Agora Institute, where they are working to strengthen democracy through civic engagement and inclusive dialogue.

This week on the Beacon podcast, Ben Chin interviews Professor Hahrie Han of Johns Hopkins University on her work studying how and why movements for change succeed. She notes the

Emma hosts Hahrie Han, director of the SNF Agora Institute and Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss her recent book Prisms of the People: Power & Organizing in Twenty-First-Century America, that she co-authored with Elizabeth McKenna and Michelle Oyakawa. Hahrie situates her relationship with organizing, starting as a child of Korean immigrants in Texas, growing as she became involved in student activism, and eventually being juxtaposed with the electoral work she put in on campaigns in the 90s. Emma and her jump into the importance of self-determination, walking through her first-hand experiences in fights against SB1070, Prop 206, and even a fight for higher minimum wages in Arizona, and looking at the importance of having short terms goals in building towards a larger-scale project. They wrap up the interview reflecting on why recent movement campaigns have failed to capitalize on lingering inspiration, and explore the case study of the activism that got us prohibition. Emma wraps up the first half by discussing Sam's vacation and touching on Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Milley's response to the media fulling buying into US intelligence's clamor for continued power in the Middle East. And in the Fun Half: The MR crew are joined by Brandon Sutton as always, to discuss sick day tactics, and Dave from Jamaica gives his own input to inspire Brandon to go full Foucault. Next, they jump into the Islamophobic fear-mongering around refugee acceptance, from Stinchfields and Hannitys to Bill Mahers and Sam Harrises, Alex from NY returns with two fun fueled matchups, before Brian from AZ engages with Bill Maher's religion takes, and reflects on the 9/11 attackers calling him devil by name (??). They also cover some of Bill O'Reilly's takes on American Marxism (aka Disney going woke) and Dinesh D'Souza gives credit to the Taliban where it's due, plus, your calls and IMs!

This week on Everywhere Radio, Whitney talks with political scientist and author Hahrie Han about democracy in a changing nation and what the rural “agora” means in the 21st century. As a professor and faculty director at John Hopkins University, Han studies civic and political participation, social movements, collective action, and organizing, particularly as it pertains to democratic revitalization.

We live in a great time of cynicism and apathy as it relates to politics and political power. In this episode, Candace and Tom interview coauthor Hahrie Han about her new book Prisms of the People: Power and Organizing in Twenty-First-Century America. She describes how people mistake attention for power and how the key to effectuating political change is creating a sense of belonging amongst fellow activists. Han also notes that the art of political negotiation not only is critical between electeds, but also across advocacy groups. This is a must listen for anyone looking to create political change.

Johns Hopkins University political scientist Hahrie Han discusses how to rebirth American civic life and democracy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a stress test for democracy, exposing fault lines that already existed. So, where do we go from here? Dr. Hahrie Han, inaugural director of the SNF Agora Institute and Hopkins political science professor, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about what it means for democracy to be in crisis, the parallels of this moment to a century ago, why the pandemic became politically polarizing in some countries but not others, and what we can learn from history and evangelical megachurches to help us address these challenges going forward.

Our panel of John Wood, Jr., Hahrie Han, and Shi-Ling Hsu will discuss from each of their unique perspectives what the way forward for climate action in 2021 will look like.

Οι ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΙ του ΙΣΝ, που υλοποιούνται με τη δημοσιογραφική επιμέλεια του μη κερδοσκοπικού δημοσιογραφικού οργανισμού iMEdD (incubator for Media Education and Development), συμπληρώνουν αυτό τον μήνα 3 χρόνια ανοιχτών, δημόσιων συζητήσεων. Η πρόσβαση των πολιτών στον δημόσιο διάλογο, ο διάλογος στα ψηφιακά μέσα, αλλά και οι προκλήσεις του διαλόγου εν μέσω πανδημίας και κοινωνικής πόλωσης, βρέθηκαν την Τετάρτη 25 Νοεμβρίου στο επίκεντρο της 37ης συνάντησης των ΔΙΑΛΟΓΩΝ με θέμα η «Δύναμη του Διαλόγου». Στη συζήτηση συμμετείχαν οι Νίκος Αλιβιζάτος, Ομότιμος Καθηγητής Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών και Συνταγματολόγος και Δημήτρης Χριστόπουλος, Καθηγητής στο Τμήμα Πολιτικής Επιστήμης & Ιστορίας Παντείου Πανεπιστημίου. Ξεκινώντας από τη σημασία του διαλόγου, ο Δημήτρης Χριστόπουλος υπογράμμισε πως «ο διάλογος δεν χρειάζεται για τα κομπλιμέντα. Χρειάζεται στα δύσκολα και στις διαφωνίες, εκεί που δοκιμάζονται οι ανοχές και οι αντοχές μας». Όσον αφορά το πόσο επικίνδυνο είναι σε περίοδο κρίσης να εκφράζονται απόψεις που δεν στηρίζονται σε επιστημονικά δεδομένα, ο Νίκος Αλιβιζάτος σχολίασε πως «είναι δικαίωμα του καθενός να αυτοκαθορίζεται και να πιστεύει ό,τι θέλει, αλλά όταν συνυπάρχει με άλλους δεν μπορεί να θέτει αυτός τους κανόνες του παιχνιδιού». Σχολιάζοντας το κατά πόσο υπάρχουν όρια στην άσκηση κριτικής πάνω στις θρησκευτικές πεποιθήσεις, ο Νίκος Αλιβιζάτος τόνισε πως «η εξατομικευμένη προσβολή δεν είναι διάλογος» ενώ ο Δημήτρης Χριστόπουλος συμπλήρωσε πως «δεν είναι το περιεχόμενο της εκάστοτε άποψης που κρίνει τελικά αν είναι θεμιτό να την εκφέρουμε ή όχι, αλλά το περιβάλλον και ο χρόνος μέσα στην οποία αυτή εκφέρεται». Αναφερόμενος στο φαινόμενο του τραμπισμού, ο κ. Χριστόπουλος σχολίασε πως «δεν είναι μόνο αμερικάνικο. Εδώ και αρκετά χρόνια αρχίζει και εδραιώνεται ένας νέος τύπος διακυβέρνησης ο οποίος έχει αυταρχικά χαρακτηριστικά και αδιαφορία προς τους θεσμούς και το κράτος δικαίου. Ζούμε σε μια κρίσιμη, μεταβατική στιγμή, όπου αυτού του τύπου το μοντέλο μπορεί και να κυριαρχήσει αν δεν κοιτάξουμε σοβαρά και αυτοκριτικά στον καθρέφτη» ενώ ο κ. Αλιβιζάτος υπογράμμισε πως η δυσκολία, ειδικά εν μέσω πανδημίας, έγκειται στο «πως οι εχέφρονες άνθρωποι υπέρ της ανοιχτής κοινωνίας θα μπορούμε να απευθυνθούμε πειστικά σε έναν κόσμο που ακολουθεί τέτοιου είδους φαινόμενα». Σε συνέντευξη που παραχώρησε η Hahrie Han, Διευθύντρια SNF Agora Institute στο Πανεπιστήμιο Johns Hopkins, αναφέρθηκε στις προεδρικές εκλογές 2020 των ΗΠΑ ενώ σχετικά με την πόλωση στην αμερικανική κοινωνία η Hahrie Han δήλωσε πως «αυτό που βλέπω από το 2016 έως το 2020 είναι μια συντριπτική ιστορία στασιμότητας. Είμαστε σε μια κοινωνία βαθιά διχασμένη και αυτό δεν άλλαξε. Δεν άλλαξε στα τέσσερα χρόνια με τον Τραμπ και ό,τι κι αν γίνει με τον Τραμπ, ο τραμπισμός θα παραμείνει μαζί μας». Σε ερώτηση για το πώς μπορεί η κοινωνία να κάνει τη συμμετοχή όλων των ανθρώπων σε μια δημοκρατική διαδικασία πιθανή και δυναμική, η Hahrie Han ανέφερε: «είναι θεμελιώδες για τη δημοκρατία να έχεις απλούς ανθρώπους που ασχολούνται με την πολιτική ζωή και νιώθουν πως η φωνή τους μετράει στην πολιτική διαδικασία. Όταν οι άνθρωποι νιώθουν πως η δημοκρατία δεν συναντά τις βασικές τους ανάγκες, τότε την εγκαταλείπουν».

This month, the SNF DIALOGUES, a series of events held through journalism nonprofit iMEdD (the incubator for Media Education and Development), marked three years of fostering open public discussion. Access to public discourse, dialogue through digital media, and the challenges to dialogue in the midst of a pandemic and deep social polarization were central themes on Wednesday, November 25 during the 37th DIALOGUES, “The Power of Dialogue.” The discussion featured Nikos Alivizatos, Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Athens, and Dimitris Christopoulos, Professor in the Department of Political Science and History at Panteion University. Drilling down to the core function of dialogue, Christopoulos expressed that “the purpose of dialogue is not to deliver compliments. Dialogue is necessary in difficult situations and arguments, where our patience and tolerance are being tested.” Alivizatos commented on the danger, in times of crisis, of expressing opinions not founded on scientific fact, saying that “everyone has the right to define themselves as they wish, and to believe whatever they want, but when they coexist with others, they cannot set the rules of the whole game.” On the question of whether there should be limits to criticism of religious beliefs, Alivizatos commented that “personalized insult is not dialogue,” while Christopoulos added that “it is not the content of each opinion that ultimately decides whether it is legitimate to express it or not, but the environment and the moment when it is expressed.” Trumpism, Christopoulos asserted, “is not an exclusively American phenomenon. For several years now, a new type of governance has been forming which has authoritarian characteristics and an indifference toward institutions and the rule of law. We are living through a critical transitional period, during which this type of model could easily achieve dominance if we fail to take a serious and self-critical look in the mirror.” Alivizatos, meanwhile, emphasized that the difficulty, especially in the midst of a pandemic, lies in “how rational people, in favor of an open society, will be able to convincingly appeal to people who adhere to such an ideology.” In an interview recorded for the DIALOGUES event, Hahrie Han, Director of the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, discussed the 2020 U.S. presidential election and polarization within American society. “What I see from 2016 to 2020 is an overwhelming story of stasis. We are in a society that is deeply divided and that has not changed. It hasn't changed after four years of Trump and, no matter what happens with President Trump, Trumpism is going to remain with us.” On the question of how to ensure dynamic, universal participation in the democratic process, she said, “Having ordinary people be able to engage in public life and feel like their voice actually matters in the political process is fundamental to making democracy work. If people feel like democracy is not meeting their most basic needs, then they give up on democracy itself.” Sydney Nixon, an SNF Paideia Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania said: “Being wrong isn't bad. It's a sign of intellectual humility when you're able to admit that you're wrong,”. She shared a message about the importance of dialogue, saying, “when I recognize that everyone has their own unique experience and lens that they bring to an issue, it starts to make me question my own perception and how I view things around me.” The next live SNF DIALOGUES webcast, on “Mental Health,” will take place on Wednesday, December 16 at snfdialogues.org. The DIALOGUES are curated and moderated by Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou. *The opinions expressed by DIALOGUES participants are solely their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) or iMEdD.

The SNF DIALOGUES and the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University held on Wednesday, June 24 an online discussion about the potential benefits technology holds for democracy and any limits to its potential, during the Summer Nostos Festival. George Zarkadakis, Digital Lead at Willis Towers Watson, Author said “We need more citizen assemblies where people come in, discuss with experts and have opinion and their opinion matters. It is important that their opinion matters. I think that this is one way of taking science communication and technology to the next level, which is citizens becoming true stakeholders”. Referring to the role of democracy, George Zarkadakis mentioned that “We need an enhanced liberal democracy that takes into account citizen participation in a much more significant way in order to regain trust”. Alondra Nelson, President of the Social Science Research Council, Harold F. Linder Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study mentioned: “More than ever before it's both important to have real experts at the table and those who are not experts but live with the consequences of the decisions that are being made by a technocratic society”, while regarding the role of democracy she stated that “The challenge for us in thinking about democracy is that the move to the universal is not always a move that provides equal liberties to all people”. The discussion was moderated by journalist and SNF DIALOGUES Executive Director Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou and SNF Agora Institute director Hahrie Han. The DIALOGUES are curated and moderated by Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou. *The opinions expressed by DIALOGUES participants are solely their own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) or the SNF DIALOGUES team.

Οι ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΙ του ΙΣΝ και το SNF Agora Institute στο Πανεπιστήμιο Johns Hopkins πραγματοποίησαν την Τετάρτη 24 Ιουνίου μια διαδικτυακή συζήτηση για τις προοπτικές και τα όρια που προκύπτουν από την αλληλεπίδραση τεχνολογίας και δημοκρατίας στο πλαίσιο του Summer Nostos Festival. Ο Γιώργος Ζαρκαδάκης, Digital Lead, Willis Towers Watson, Συγγραφέας ανέφερε πως «χρειαζόμαστε περισσότερες συνελεύσεις πολιτών όπου οι πολίτες συζητούν με ειδικούς και η γνώμη τους μετράει. Είναι πολύ σημαντικό η γνώμη τους να μετράει. Πιστεύω ότι ένας τρόπος για να πάμε την επικοινωνία της επιστήμης και την τεχνολογία στο επόμενο επίπεδο, είναι να κάνουμε τους πολίτες ενδιαφερόμενα μέλη». Αναφερόμενος στο ρόλο της δημοκρατίας, ο Γιώργος Ζαρκαδάκης σχολίασε πως «χρειαζόμαστε μια ενισχυμένη φιλελεύθερη δημοκρατία που να λαμβάνει υπόψη πολύ περισσότερο τη συμμετοχή των πολιτών προκειμένου να ανακτήσει την χαμένη εμπιστοσύνη τους». Η Alondra Nelson, Πρόεδρος, Social Science Research Council - Καθηγήτρια Harold F. Linder, Institute for Advanced Study ανέφερε μεταξύ άλλων: «Σήμερα, περισσότερο από ποτέ, χρειαζόμαστε τόσο τους ειδικούς όσο και εκείνους που δεν είναι ειδικοί αλλά ζουν με τις συνέπειες των αποφάσεων που λαμβάνονται από μια τεχνοκρατική κοινωνία», ενώ για το ρόλο της δημοκρατίας σημείωσε πως «η πρόκληση σε ό,τι αφορά τη δημοκρατία είναι ότι η μετάβαση σε ένα παγκόσμιο καθεστώς δεν είναι πάντα μια κίνηση που παρέχει ίσες ελευθερίες για όλους τους ανθρώπους». Τη συζήτηση συντόνισαν η Άννα-Κύνθια Μπουσδούκου Εκτελεστική Διευθύντρια των ΔΙΑΛΟΓΩΝ του ΙΣΝ , και η Hahrie Han, Διευθύντρια SNF Agora Institute στο Πανεπιστήμιο Johns Hopkins.

Στο πλαίσιο της μηνιαίας σειράς του ΙΣΝ ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΙ, το Πανεπιστήμιο Johns Hopkins συνδιοργάνωσε τη 2η Ημερίδα του SNF Agora Institute με τίτλο “Talking (and Listening) Across Divides”, την Τετάρτη 26 Ιουνίου, από τις 09:00 π.μ. έως τη 01:30 μ.μ. στην Αίθουσα Σταύρος Νιάρχος της ΕΛΣ στο Κέντρο Πολιτισμού Ίδρυμα Σταύρος Νιάρχος. Η ημερίδα είχε στόχο να διερευνήσει όλα όσα μπορούν να μας διδάξουν η εμπειρία και οι επιστήμες για τις προϋποθέσεις που επιτρέπουν τον παραγωγικό και δημοκρατικό διάλογο και τη συμμετοχή στα κοινά. Στην ημερίδα συμμετείχαν ακαδημαϊκοί και επαγγελματίες από διαφορετικά επιστημονικά πεδία, των οποίων η έρευνα και εξειδικευμένη γνώση «φωτισε » τους τρόπους με τους οποίους μπορούμε να αντιμετωπίσουμε, να μετριάσουμε ή ακόμη και να λάβουμε υπόψη μας ανταγωνιστικές απόψεις – γεγονός που αποτελεί σημαντική παράμετρο για την ομαλή λειτουργία της δημοκρατίας. Oι ομιλητές στην εκδήλωση ήταν οι: Hahrie Han, PhD, Ιδρυτική Διευθύντρια, SNF Agora Institute στο Johns Hopkins University Martha Jones, PhD, Προεδρική Καθηγήτρια της Society of Black Alumni και Καθηγήτρια Ιστορίας, Johns Hopkins University Munzer Khattab, Συνιδρυτής, BureauCrazy Roelf Meyer, Πρώην Επικεφαλής του Εθνικού Κόμματος, Νότια Αφρική Michelle Miller, Συμπαρουσιαστής, CBS This Morning: Saturday Άννα-Κύνθια Μπουσδούκου, Δημοσιογράφος, Διευθύνουσα Σύμβουλος, iMEdD και Εκτελεστική Διευθύντρια «ΙΣΝ ΔΙΑΛΟΓΟΙ» Marc Morial, Πρόεδρος και Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος, National Urban League Mike Niconchuk, Ανώτερος Ερευνητής, Beyond Conflict Timothy Phillips, Ιδρυτής και Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος, Beyond Conflict Ebrahim Rasool, Πρώην Πρέσβης της Νότιας Αφρικής στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Barri Shorey, Προσωρινός Ανώτερος Τεχνικός Διευθυντής, Economic Recovery and Development, International Rescue Committee Elizabeth Smyth, Εκτελεστική Διευθύντρια, SNF Agora Institute στο Johns Hopkins University

Ballot questions let voters decide on big issues. But with ad campaigns and special interests, reliable information can be hard to find. Professor John Gastil outlines an innovative solution—give a small group of citizens all of the information they need to make up their minds and share their findings with fellow voters.

We're thrilled to be back for the second season of the PAAC podcast! Lydia catches us up on her adventures overseas, and then we dive into our main topic of the day, the Las Vegas shooting. Shortly after the attack, Bill O'Reilly said mass shootings were “the price of freedom.” What does that mean, exactly? Remember in the Hunger Games movies, where each district had to sacrifice someone as a “tribute,” essentially to die for the sake of their country? We seem to live in a country where each and every one of us, whether we like it or not, is required to potentially give our lives as tribute in order to protect an extreme, twisted interpretation of the Second Amendment. Today on the show, we ask how we can begin to change the narrative on gun control and whether there is such a thing as a “Christian” position on guns. (Also, this is the first episode where we need to add the E for explicit warning tag!) Thanks for listening! Links: “Want Gun Control?

In this episode, Wellesley College professor Hahrie Han discusses some of the findings from her book, How Organizations Develop Activists: Civic Associations and Leadership in the 21st Century. In it, Dr Han explores how modern political organizations employ new strategies to inspire action and enthusiasm in the digital age. Download Office Hours #104

Hahrie Han has written How Organizations Develop Activists: Civic Associations and Leadership in the Twenty-First Century (Oxford UP, 2014). Han is associate professor of political science at Wellesley College. She has previously written Groundbreakers: How Obama’s 2.2 Million Volunteers Transformed Campaigns in America. Han’s book explores the world of activism, and the role organizations play in mobilizing and organizing people. She makes the provocative argument that organizations vary in whether they simply want to mobilize community members or whether they want to transform them into activist leaders. Only certain organizations devote the resources to the time-consuming process of transformation. What makes Han’s book so interesting is the way it straddles the disciplinary concerns of political science with some practical lessons and advice for organizations.

Hahrie Han reads a selection from Ground Wars by Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, published by Princeton University Press. "How campaigns are waged matters, not only for electoral outcomes but also for what democratic politics is."
