Podcast appearances and mentions of Kathleen Hall Jamieson

Kathleen Hall Jamieson has an enlightenment faith in “eloquentia perfecta” – faith in reason, faith in facts, faith in public debate and civil discourse. Sometimes – and especially these days – that faith might feel in short supply. But that faith took Jamieson from Marquette University, class of 1967, to the heights of political communication scholarship – authoring a library shelf of pioneering books, achieving a CV's worth of distinguished career awards, and serving as both dean and public policy center director at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication. In episode 14 of Formative, we talk about presidential communication styles from Reagan's televisual charm to Trump's norm-shattering volume; the epistemological peril in discrediting expertise; and how rhetoric, at its best, can open up the humanity of an audience.

The Author Events Series presents Francis Collins | The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust REGISTER In conversation with Kathleen Hall Jamieson In The Road to Wisdom, Francis Collins reminds us of the four core sources of judgement and clear thinking: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his work from the Human Genome Project and heading the National Institutes of Health, as well as on ethics, philosophy, and Christian theology, Collins makes a robust, thoughtful case for each of these sources--their reliability, and their limits. Ultimately, he shows how they work together, not separately--and certainly not in conflict. It is only when we relink these four foundations of wisdom that we can begin to discern the best path forward in life. ​Thoughtful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time--including distrust of public health, partisanship, racism, response to climate change, and threats to our democracy--but also to guide us in our daily lives. This is a book that will repay many readings, and resolve dilemmas that we all face every day. Francis S. Collins is a physician and geneticist. His groundbreaking work has led to the discovery of the cause of cystic fibrosis, among other diseases. In 1993 he was appointed director of the international Human Genome Project, which successfully sequenced all 3 billion letters of our DNA. He went on to serve three Presidents as the Director of the National Institutes of Health.

Donald Trump has made history by becoming the first former US President to be criminally charged, facing 91 felony charges across four separate cases. As he heads towards an election rematch with Joe Biden, he has promised to continue his campaign even if he is convicted or sent to prison. What impact could this have on his campaign and has a prisoner ever run for President before?Eugene V Debs (1855-1926) was one of the best-known Socialists in the United States. He ran for president five times – the final time from prison. Though his politics were rather different from Trump's, his performance – he won almost a million votes – suggests how a criminal conviction can in fact add momentum to a presidential campaign.Guests: Adam Smith, Professor of US Politics and Political History at the University of Oxford; Quinta Jurecic, Fellow in Governance Studies, Brookings; Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Professor of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.Producer: Dan Hardoon Reader: Eric Meyers

James Aldrete comes out of a family political tradition with one foot in the world of radical Tejano politics of the 50s and 60s - and one foot in the  Democratic establishment. As a political professional, he's merged those strands to start his own firm (MAP) based in Austin, TX and become a leading voice within the Democratic party on communications and messaging, with a focus on Hispanic engagement and media. In this conversation, James talks cutting his teeth in Texas politics for Governors Mark White and Ann Richards, building his own media firm over the past 20+ years, working in multiple presidential campaigns, and his thoughts on the changing way to communicate with a diversifying coalition of voters.Podcast WebsiteTwitter: @ProPoliticsPodTwitter: @ZacMcCraryFacebook: The Pro Politics PodcastIN THIS EPISODEJames grows up with one foot in Texas and one foot in DC…James' family roots in both radical politics and establishment politics…James remembers leading lights of the Hispanic community coming through for dinners at his house…James' interns at the Lloyd Bentsen-era DSCC…The 1986 Mark White Governor's campaign gives James his first political network…James' memories working for Ann Richards' 1990 campaign…How James grows his business after hanging up his own shingle in the mid 90s…James experience working for Obama 2008 media team…James best practices of communicating with Hispanic voters…James talks Trump's 2020 performance with Hispanic voters…The Santa Fe Mayoral Race that meant a lot to James…AND Kirk Adams, Sharron Angle, David Axelrod, Lloyd Bentsen, Fabian Chavez, Matthew Dowd, Kida de la Garza, Harris Diamond, the GI Forum, Dave Gold, Javier Gonzales, Charlie Gonzalez, Henry Gonzalez, Larry Grisolano, Luis Guiterrez, Jane Hedgepeth, Dwayne Holman, Ruben Hinojosa, Hubert Humphrey, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Felix Longoria, Jim Margolis, Mark McKinnon, Ruben Montoya, Dick Morris, George Rakis, Harry Reid, Ann Richards, Cecile Richards, Eliot Richardson, Ciro Rodgriguez, George Sanchez, John Sayles, Bob Squier, Raymond Strother, Russ Tidwell, Mark White, Isabel Wilkerson, Ralph Yarborough….and more!Podcast WebsiteTwitter: @ProPoliticsPodTwitter: @ZacMcCraryFacebook: The Pro Politics Podcast

Republicans are channeling Joseph Stalin who once suggested, “It doesn’t matter who votes; what matters is who counts the votes.” You’d have to be abnormal not to have Trump Derangement Syndrome right now.

Donald Trump tapped a reservoir of radical hate by scapegoating immigrants and Black Americans victimized by police violence, lying about the presidential election results, and mobilizing a mob to assault Congress. Even as Trump swung away, a powerful story about American democracy emerged. The 2020 election demonstrated the durability of law, the courage of the free press, and the civic determination of Americans who organized and voted in record numbers. One of America's iconic observers of American public life - Kathleen Hall Jamieson - joins us to talk about the state of American democracy and its future.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson wrote a book called "Dirty Politics: Deception, Distraction, and Democracy" in 1992. A lot has changed. And the politics have become dirtier. But, learning to become a spectator of this "Game" we can sit back and analyze what a candidate truly has to offer. This episode is for you to become better informed of strategy and why it matters. We take a look at Jamieson's ideas and apply them to how we can look at politics during our 2020 election. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dr-janet-johnson/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-janet-johnson/support

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome back the foremost expert on American political communication, Kathleen Hall Jamieson.  Oxford University Press has published her newest work, “Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President - What We Don't, Can't and Do Know.” The author of 16 books, including this latest forensic examination of Russian digital dirty tricks.

source: https://www.projectcensored.org/rob-williams-and-russian-interference-in-the-election/ Amid the ongoing corporate-media hue and cry about ‘Russian interference' in the 2016 US election, media scholar Rob Williams reviews the evidence, and the unexamined assumptions made by promoters of the ‘Russian hacking' position. Some of the discussion on the show revolves around Kathleen Hall Jamieson's new book Cyberwar. notes: Rob Williams teaches Communications at the University of Vermont and other institutions. He's also the publisher of the Vermont Independent, and a frequent contributor to Project Censored. His review of the Jamieson book can be found here.

Drawing on path-breaking work in which she and her colleagues isolated significant communication effects in the 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns, the eminent political communication scholar Kathleen Hall Jamieson marshals the troll posts, unique polling data, analyses of how the press used the hacked content, and a synthesis of half a century of media effects research to argue that, although not certain, it is probable that the Russians helped elect the 45th president of the United States. Jamieson explains how by changing the behavior of key players and altering the focus and content of mainstream news, Russian hackers reshaped the 2016 electoral dynamic. While the goal of these hackers was division and not necessarily focused on a particular outcome, the data suggests that many voters’ opinions were altered by Russia’s wide-ranging and coordinated campaign.Kathleen Hall Jamieson is the Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication of the University of Pennsylvania and Director of its Annenberg Public Policy Center.

A decade after the 9/11 Commission issued its report on the greatest act of terrorism on US soil, is the nation as safe as it could and should be? Have we been smart in plugging gaps in our security since 9/11, or simply lucky? Will reducing our military footprint in trouble spots overseas help or hurt? And what new and emerging threats—such as attacks on cybersecurity—will the US need to anticipate and thwart in the next ten years? We will discuss how to tackle the nation’s most urgent vulnerabilities and what reforms are still necessary to help ensure our national security.

Convocation marks the start of the academic year and welcomes incoming students to the scholarly world of the university. The event is festive and resonates with the centuries-old tradition of inducting scholars into the community of the academy. This year’s convocation speaker is Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Center for Public Policy, University of Pennsylvania. Jamieson has frequently asserted that it is incumbent on America’s leaders to tell the citizenry “truths it does not want to hear.” Such statements are part of the reason syndicated columnist Paul Greenberg recently dubbed Jamieson the “magisterial arbiter of American eloquence.” She has long excelled at guiding Americans to more insightful analysis of the world. The UO Channel is pleased to present Kathleen Kamieson’s keynote speech, with an introduction by UO President Dave Frohnmayer.
