Podcasts about policy research

What part should politics play in our everyday lives? In How to Think About Politics: A Guide in Five Parts (Oxford University Press, 2025) Peter Allen, a professor of Politics and Co-Director of the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Bath, explores this question across a range of practical and philosophical examples. The book directly challenges the conventional academic understanding of politics, showing how politics is much more than election polls or parliamentary behaviours. This broader view of the politic allows the book to offer insights as to what needs to change in political systems, as well as more generally in societies. A much needed and urgent intervention on the current state of our world, the book should be widely read by any readers interested in politics today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our conversation this week is with Vivian Van Gelder, Director of Policy & Research at the Southeast Seattle Education Coalition, a nonprofit that unites more than 50 community organizations, schools, parents, and caregivers behind advocacy for equitable education policy. Vivian is the lead author of a report called Left to Chance: Student Outcomes in Seattle Public Schools, A forensic history. It's a sweeping and detailed analysis of one public school district's leadership and policy choices over more than three decades and how those choices have shaped the educational experience of tens of thousands of students attending more than 100 schools.In her report, Vivian uncovers the story of how Seattle Public Schools embraced an experiment in local control, allowing parents and students to “vote with their feet” for support of their local schools. In theory, competition drives innovation; in practice, the story was more complicated, and it produced a fractured district with a hundred mini-systems that were unevenly funded, under-supported, and almost invisible to central leadership.We think there's a lot to be learned from this report and from researchers like Vivian who are doing the hard work of holding intractable social problems up to the light in a way that can spark progress and ignite momentum behind reform. We spend significant time discussing Seattle Public Schools in this episode, but Katie and I were struck by just how familiar some of these tensions are to what we've heard from educators in Appalachian Ohio, or to friends in suburban Maryland and rural Alaska and the Deep South. Vivian's work addresses universal questions of values and organizational leadership in public schools, and we encourage you to read it (we will link to it in our show notes).Thanks for listening to 16:1, and don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter for the latest news, resources, workshop offerings, and episode announcements from Moonbeam Multimedia.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (04/15/2025): 3:05pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Abrego Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that he should “facilitate” his return to the United States—though, after the error is corrected, he would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 3:10pm- On Monday, chip maker Nvidia announced that it is investing $500 billion in American-made supercomputers used for artificial intelligence. The domestic manufacturing is expected to create over 100,000 jobs. 3:20pm- According to reports, China has suspended exportation of rare earth minerals and rare earth magnets—two components critical to modern technology. The move comes in response to the Trump Administration placing a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. 3:40pm- On Monday, the Trump Administration announced it was placing a $2.2 billion freeze on Harvard University's funding. Earlier this year, the administration terminated $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University. Rich jokes that Matt's two schools are being targeted—is he the reason? 4:05pm- Tony Shaffer—New York Times Bestselling Author, Retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, & President of London Center for Policy Research—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration declassifying over 700 documents relating to the FBI's mishandling of the Steele dossier which falsely linked Donald Trump's 2016 campaign to the Russian government. 4:20pm- Matt says he deserves full credit for getting President Donald Trump to call into the show on election night…which causes Rich to yell at him even more than as typical. 4:30pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13.

Historically, this has been a polling question dominated by the left. 5:00pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the pharmaceutical industry, Stephen A. Smith's chances of being the Democratic nominee for president in 2028, and Anderson Cooper getting scolded for misgendering an audience member during a town hall event, and Cory Booker giving people hugs. 5:35pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the C ...

Given deeply polarized domestic politics and insufficient international commitment to the Paris Accord, can we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avert some of the worst effects of climate change before it's too late? It's an elemental question that warrants despair, yes, but plenty of hope too. Political scientist Leigh Raymond, a 2021-22 CASBS fellow, explores the implicated issues through a conversation about "Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere" with its author, sustainability scientist Rob Jackson. Jackson launched the book project as a 2019-20 CASBS fellow.ROB JACKSON: Faculty page | Stanford profile | CASBS profile | Jackson on Google Scholar | Global Carbon Project | Publisher page for Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere (Simon & Schuster, 2024)Media related to Into the Clear Blue Sky: KQED Forum | The Times | Scientific American | Aeon | Wired | Times Literary Supplement | The Conversation | Chemical & Engineering News | Civil Eats | more Scientific American | Literary Hub | Heatmap | Environmental Health News | Orion | Fast Company | Inside Climate News | The Wall Street Journal | Atmos | ACS Publications |LEIGH RAYMOND: Faculty page | on Google Scholar | Publisher page for Reclaiming the Atmospheric Commons: The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and a New Model of Emissions Trading (MIT Press, 2016) | 2017 book award announcement |"What Climate Policies do Americans Want from Their Legislatures?"

Today's episode delves into the concept of "Acclivity" and the significance behind my choice of this term. Career growth is like climbing a hill, and the "Acclivity" mindset involves a continuous pursuit of upward movement and personal development. The metaphor of an incline is compelling in representing a career, as it conveys the notion that progress often involves effort, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. Just as climbing a hill requires determination and resilience, so too does advancing in one's career.Moreover, I highlight the role of coaching as a crucial catalyst for success. Just as a climber may benefit from guidance and support while navigating a challenging ascent, individuals can significantly enhance their career trajectories through the insights, encouragement, and strategic advice a skilled coach provides.

In this episode I am exploring the divergence between productivity and wages in western economies since 1970.  This was covered in one of my first podcasts and is a striking failure of society that has derailed post-war successes and led to the current situation of inequity and unrest. It puts us in the strange position that robotics and AI are going to make the vast majority of the world poorer and further behind.

This week, we welcome back to the program the Director of the Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at Winthrop University, Dr. Scott Huffmon. We usually have Dr. Huffmon on to discuss the prestigious Winthrop Poll, known as the most reliable and comprehensive poll regarding issues and politics in South Carolina. Today, however, Dr. Huffmon joins us to discuss a fascinating class he teaches: Politics and Society in Middle Earth: The Lord of the Rings. What can Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy, with its themes of alliances and rivalries between individuals from different races, teach us about society and politics in our own time? Let's find out.

Will Arvind Kejriwal return to power once again in Delhi? Or, will the BJP build on the momentum of its recent victories in Haryana and Maharashtra to dislodge the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from power? What are the stakes for the Congress in these elections, given that its vote share in the last election had shrunk to less than 5%? These are some of the questions on people's minds as the state gears up for the assembly polls, scheduled for February 5. In this episode of In Focus, we preview the chances of the three contenders, assess the competing narratives that each of them is pushing, and analyse the issues that could tip the balance among the voters.

One of the most talked about policy experiments in India in recent memory is the reform of government schools in the city-state of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Under the leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party, the Delhi government has implemented an innovative program to equip students with foundational literacy and numeracy. But while these reforms are much discussed, they have been surprisingly under-studied. A new book by the scholar Yamini Aiyar tries to remedy this gap.Yamini's new book, Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi's Schools, draws on three years of ethnographic research where she and a team of colleagues were embedded in a cluster of schools across the national capital.Yamini is currently Visiting Senior Fellow at the Saxena Center for Contemporary South Asia and the Watson Institute at Brown University. Many of our listeners will know her from her work with the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi, where she served as President from 2017 to 2024.To kick off season thirteen of Grand Tamasha, Yamini joins Milan on the show this week. They discuss Yamini's decade-long adventure studying India's public schools, the core elements of the Delhi education model, and the mysterious ways in which the India bureaucracy operates. Plus, they discuss whether the Delhi experiment can travel beyond the national capital.Episode notes:1. “How Bureaucracy Can Work for the Poor (with Akshay Mangla),” Grand Tamasha, March 29, 2023.2.

Le 8 janvier 2023, plusieurs milliers d'émeutiers d'extrême droite dévastaient les principales institutions brésiliennes, situées sur la place des Trois-Pouvoirs, à Brasilia, une semaine après l'investiture du président élu, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Des actes violents qui laissent encore des traces dans la société brésilienne. La question de l'amnistie est notamment toujours brûlante. Environ 1 500 personnes ont été arrêtées et une trentaine d'émeutiers ont été condamnés à des peines allant jusqu'à 17 ans de prison pour tentative de coup d'État.Le journal Folha de Sao Paulo montre des images de l'évènement pour ne pas oublier ce qu'il s'est passé ce jour-là. On y voit des milliers de partisans de l'ancien président Jair Bolsonaro affluer vers le siège des trois pouvoirs à Brasilia et pénétrer dans le palais du Planalto, siège du pouvoir exécutif, mais aussi le bâtiment du Tribunal suprême fédéral.Une marée humaine, vêtue de vert et de jaune, les couleurs du Brésil, qui en quelques heures a détruit et vandalisé des œuvres d'art, dont un tableau du peintre brésilien Emiliano Augusto Cavalcanti, estimé à 8 millions de reais (plus de 12,6 millions d'euros), troué à six reprises. Le quotidien montre comment l'œuvre intitulée As Mulatas a été restaurée et a été rendue cette semaine au palais du Planalto. Lors d'une cérémonie de commémoration en présence du président Lula, le tableau a été présenté comme d'autres œuvres endommagées lors de l'invasion du bâtiment.À cette occasion, la première dame Rosangela da Silva a prononcé un discours dans lequel elle a déclaré que le palais du Planalto avait « été victime d'une haine qui continue d'encourager les actes antidémocratiques, ainsi que les discours fascistes et autoritaires » rapporte le Folha de Sao Paulo.Mais il n'y a pas que les œuvres d'art qui demandent réparation. Le journal El Globo publie une interview de la future présidente du tribunal militaire supérieur.Maria Elizabeth Rocha estime qu'il est trop tôt pour parler d'amnistie pour les personnes impliquées dans cette insurrection, car tous les inculpés n'ont pas encore été jugés, notamment les logisticiens qui ont permis le transport ou aidé l'installation des émeutiers lors du campement devant le quartier général de l'armée. « Il faut avoir une vision complète de ce qu'a été le 8 janvier, tout clarifier, et pouvoir en parler, car l'amnistie, c'est le pardon, pas l'oubli », précise celle qui aura la tâche de superviser l'enquête sur ces évènements, et pour qui la date du 8 janvier est toujours « une blessure ouverte qui prendra du temps à cicatriser ».15 ans après le séisme en Haïti : « Une réponse internationale motivée par une certaine peur »16h53, le dimanche 12 janvier 2010. Une date et une heure qui resteront à jamais gravées dans la mémoire des Haïtiens. Ce jour-là, un séisme de magnitude 7 au large de Port-au-Prince engloutissait la capitale haïtienne, faisant plus de 280 000 morts et 300 000 blessés. Dimanche prochain, le pays commémorera les 15 ans de la catastrophe, dans le contexte d'insécurité que l'on connait. Une situation qui n'est pas étrangère à la gestion directe de l'après-séisme par la communauté internationale. C'est la thèse défendue par l'Américain Jake Johnston dans son livre paru l'an dernier Aid State : « La réponse internationale au tremblement de terre était motivée par une certaine peur », estime le chercheur au Center for Economic and Policy Research de Washington DC dans un entretien avec RFI. « C'est une peur qui a eu des conséquences fatales : définir comme priorité la sécurité, les ressources militaires dans une situation qui exigeait une réponse humanitaire, a de fait ralenti la délivrance de cette aide. » Jake Johnston estime que les objectifs capitalistes américains et européens de longue date ont piégé et ré-asservi Haïti, sous couvert de l'aider : « C'est de cette manière que fonctionne le système d'aide que nous avons créé et que les pays riches soutiennent. En grande partie, il est fait pour bénéficier aux pays qui développent cette aide, et pas à ceux qui en ont besoin. » Le chercheur donne l'exemple des agriculteurs haïtiens qui n'ont pas pu lutter contre l'arrivée massive de nourriture importée et distribuée gratuitement après le séisme.À Cap Haïtien, les appels à l'aide se multiplient après les pluies diluviennesDans une interview au Nouvelliste, l'ingénieur Raoul Lecompte, qui est aussi le directeur départemental Nord du ministère des Travaux publics, Transports et Communications, appelle à la mise en place d'une « urgence gouvernementale » et dénonce une administration paralysée par le manque de moyens et notamment « l'absence criante de matériel » pour faire face aux catastrophes naturelles. La plupart des véhicules sont soit en panne, soit insuffisants pour permettre d'intervenir après chaque pluie diluvienne. Mais la problématique est bien plus profonde, souligne Le Nouvelliste, qui évoque « un environnement devenu invivable » pour les habitants qui doivent évoluer parmi les immondices qui s'accumulent, et « amplifient les risques sanitaires » en raison d'une gestion inadaptée des déchets et d'un « mauvais drainage des eaux de pluies ».États-Unis : l'état d'urgence déclaré à Los Angeles pour « des incendies sans précédent »Le violent feu de forêt qui ravage le quartier huppé de Pacific Palisades qui surplombe Los Angeles, a forcé des milliers de personnes à fuir alors que des vents de la puissance d'un ouragan posent un « danger mortel », selon les autorités.La reporter du Washington Post Brianna Sacks témoigne sur place de vents violents qui attisent le feu et qui ont obligé des habitants paniqués à abandonner leurs véhicules sur l'une des seules routes entrant et sortant de la zone et à fuir à pied le feu qui a déjà ravagé près de 1 200 hectares.La journaliste relate des problèmes de circulation alors que des voitures sont en feu au bord de la route. Son père qui vit dans les environs a dû être évacué et elle témoigne de la difficulté pour elle de couvrir cet évènement d'un point de vue émotionnel. Environ 30 000 personnes sont sous le coup d'un ordre d'évacuation, selon les autorités qui ont déclaré l'état d'urgence, « plus de 1 400 pompiers ont été mobilisés pour combattre ces incendies sans précédent », explique le gouverneur de Californie, Gavin Newsom.À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: un quartier luxueux de Los Angeles évacué à cause d'un intense incendieLa vente de voitures électriques encouragée par la politique climat de Joe BidenToujours aux États-Unis, la présidence de Donald Trump laisse craindre un recul sur les politiques environnementales. Le futur locataire de la Maison Banche a vivement défendu l'usage des énergies fossiles pendant sa campagne. Lors de son premier mandat, il a sorti son pays de l'Accord de Paris et il n'a eu de cesse de critiquer les dépenses engagées par Joe Biden pour une transition vers les énergies vertes. Le président démocrate Joe Biden se vante d'ailleurs d'avoir mené les politiques climatiques les plus ambitieuses de l'histoire américaine, à travers l'IRA, l'Inflation Reduction Act, un vaste plan d'aide qui permet notamment d'encourager la vente des véhicules électriques.
