The Washington Roundtable: Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos discuss the fiery advertising war between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. They are joined by Jennifer Lawless, the chair of the politics department at the University of Virginia and the author of “Women on the Run: Gender, Media, and Political Campaigns in a Polarized Era.” Plus, how memes and social media have boosted the Harris campaign. “The Harris campaign will have a couple of uplifting, very positive ads, especially when they announce who the V.P. will be,” Professor Jennifer Lawless says. “But my bet is that this will be a race to the bottom in terms of negativity.” This week's reading: “Trump's Racist Attack on Kamala Harris Was No Accident,” by Susan B.

Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, yet less than a third of the nation's elected leaders. It's not because they're not winning. It's because they're not running. And studies show that the gender gap in political ambition is just as big today as it was 20 years ago. Why, and how do we change that? Andy poses those questions to gender and politics researcher Jennifer Lawless and She Should Run founder Erin Loos Cutraro.

Why is Congress 73% male? Jennifer Lawless of the University of Virginia explains how women are just as likely as men to win an election, far less likely to be encouraged to run, and the changes we can make to correct this imbalance.

Dr. Jennifer Lawless is the Commonwealth Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia, and she's a nationally recognized expert on women's involvement in American politics. She's more than just a scholar, though: She's a former candidate herself who ran for Congress in Maryland in 2006. On this episode she is joined by Emily Cherniack, the Founder and Executive Director of New Politics, making her first appearance on the podcast. Emily has recruited and supported hundreds of political candidates, and in 2018 was named to the Politico 50 list as one of the 50 "thinkers, doers and dreamers driving politics." In this episode inspired by Women's History Month, Dr. Lawless and Emily discuss the paths that brought them to politics, what they have learned from their experiences, and what it means to be a woman involved in politics today.

Very little was known about the fate of the small number of ANZAC's taken prisoner during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915 until Dr Jennifer Lawless uncovered their story and in the process found a vast divergence from the then accepted version of their internment by Ottoman Turkey

Kirby discusses the book, Women on the Run, written by Jennifer Lawless. Specifically, common myths that surround women on the campaign trail create a perceived challenge when choosing to run for office. This book and the podcast dismiss those myths.

In commemoration of the centennial of the 19th Amendment, this conference will explore the history of the suffrage movement and how efforts to broaden voting rights have evolved over time. Sessions will explore the origins and development of suffrage efforts as well as contemporary voting rights issues.  Join University of Virginia professor of politics Jennifer Lawless, University of Massachusetts Boston professor of political science Erin O’Brien, Harvard University professor of government and sociology Theda Skocpol, University of South Carolina professor emerita of history Marjorie Spruill, and Suffolk University professor of government and moderator Rachael Cobb as they explore contemporary issues related to the 19th Amendment.

The connection between local news and democracy goes back to the Founding Fathers and particularly to Alex de Tocqueville. We explore the rise, fall, and potential rebirth of local news this week with Jennifer Lawless, Commonwealth professor of politics at the University of Virginia and co-author with Danny Hayes of the forthcoming book News Hole: The Decline of Newspapers and the Future of American Democracy.In the golden age of newspapers, the "news hole" was the section of the paper not taken up by advertising — aka where the stories, photos, sports scores, TV listings, weather, and everything else lived. Though that dynamic still exists, the term news hole has taken on a whole other meaning that's literally a hole in a community without a local news organization.This conversation is critically important in the height of election season as people across the U.S. vote for the more than 500,000 local elected positions across the country. As we heard from Mirya Holman in the Sheriffs 101 episode, it can often be difficult to find accurate, credible information about these candidates without local news organizations.Additional InformationResources for finding local news in your area: Institute for Nonprofit NewsLION PublishersStates Newsroom (for state government coverage)UNC research on news desertsJennifer Lawless on TwitterIs that a fact? podcast from the News Literacy ProjectRelated EpisodesSheriffs 101Defending the First Amendment and the Fourth EstateFake news, clickbait, and the future of local journalism  

Next month, Joe Biden will choose his running mate, the presumptive Democratic Party's vice presidential candidate. Biden has pledged that his running mate will be a woman but committed to little beyond that. The last female major party vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, became a media phenomenon unto herself and helped usher in the Tea Party movement to prominence. No presidential ticket with a woman on it has ever been elected in the United States. With Joe Biden as the oldest presidential candidate in history, the stakes for vice president have never been higher. Who are the Biden campaign’s top choices for vice president? Will Biden use his choice to energise Democratic Party progressives or to maintain his campaign theme of being a moderate, centrist candidate? Or will history be made in 2020, with a woman elected as vice president of the United States? To discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event featuring Dr Jennifer Lawless, the Commonwealth Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia; Kim Hoggard, former senior official in the Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush administrations; and USSC CEO Professor Simon Jackman in a conversation moderated by former ABC Washington Bureau Chief Zoe Daniel.

Dr. Jennifer Lawless and Jonathon Dallimore discuss what to do with the new Stage 6 Ancient and Modern History courses and see much to be excited about… “I hope a lot of people will be willing to try some of these new topics and I think they will … In terms of the topic flow, the cores do an important thing in setting up the flavour of the course… This new Core for Modern revamps the flavour of Modern History for a new course and a new generation. … Some of the areas teachers need to stop and think about are the skills and the concepts and how we are trying to integrate some of those higher-order concepts a little more specifically… it is quite easy to introduce these... We tend to start Year 11 as a clean slate and it is important to look back at the end of Year 10 and consider the step up to the new Year 11 outcomes too….” For information about contributors and the JPL Podcast, as well as Journal of Professional Learning articles and Centre for Professional Learning courses, please visit our website www.cpl.asn.au/podcasts

Professor Jennifer Lawless is one of the best known and most widely published academic experts on the topic of gender and politics.

Women are more politically mobilized than ever before, but that hasn't been enough to get them into office. With women stalled at 20 percent of Congress and 1 in 4 elected offices nationwide, POLITICO investigates the causes of this persistent gender gap — and what’s really stopping women from breaking through. Luiza Savage talks with journalist Amanda Ripley and American University professor Jennifer Lawless about the findings of POLITICO's deep dive into women and the political pipeline.

There are 500,000 elected positions in the United States. I'll say that again: 500,000. And that's no accident. "Our political system is built on the premise that running for office is something that a broad group of citizens should want to do," writes political scientist Jennifer Lawless.But Lawless's research reveals something scary — something that helps explain the political moment we're in. Participating in politics has begun to repulse the average America. 89 percent of high schoolers says they've already decided they will never run for office. 85 percent doubt elected officials want to help people. 79% don’t think politicians are smart or hardworking. And when good, normal people turn away from politics, the system breaks down.Well, be the change you want to see in the world. Lawless is the director of the Women & Politics Institute at American University. Her recent book, along with co-author Richard Fox, is “Running from Office: Why Young Americans Are Turned Off to Politics." Her work, which details why young people and women are increasingly turned off by a political system that badly needs their participation, has never been more essential.This is an inspiring discussion, or at least I think it is. It's about the steps in political participation that come after Facebook posts and even marches. It's about how involving yourself directly in the daily work of politics is both easier and more meaningful than you might think. It's about the myths that keep people — and particularly keep women — from ever considering running for office. It's about recognizing that politics is much more than the presidency and the Congress, and that the opportunities it offers to make the world you live in a bit better are more numerous than you think.Lawless practices what she preaches. She ran for Congress in Rhode Island, and her story of that race, as well as the best advice she got while running it, should not be missed. I hear from a lot of people who feel powerless right now. But they're not powerless. This podcast is for them. Books:-Why We Lost the ERA by Jane Mansbridge-My Life by Bill Clinton-Hard Choices by Hillary Clinton Learn more about your ad choices.

Research on women’s candidate emergence identifies a substantial gender gap in political ambition that is well established by the time women and men enter the professions from which political candidates ten to emerge. More specifically, women are one-third less likely than men—even when they are matched professionally, educationally, and politically—ever to have considered running for office. Yet no empirical research has examined thoroughly the origins of the gender gap in political ambition or the relationship between early socialization and interest in running for office. Based on a new national survey of 4,000 high school and college students, we identify the initial causes of the gender gap in political ambition, which is a prerequisite to closing it. Ultimately, our results speak to the gender dynamics of powerful socializing agents, and allow for an assessment of the likelihood that our political institutions will reach gender parity.
