Podcasts about political participation

O que é que a ciência sabe sobre as tuas emoções em tempo de eleições?As campanhas políticas não são apenas jogos de argumentos — são verdadeiros laboratórios emocionais. Medo, raiva, esperança ou entusiasmo: tudo é usado com método para captar a tua atenção, influenciar decisões e moldar comportamentos.Neste episódio, exploro o que a investigação científica revela sobre o papel das emoções na comunicação política. Como é que diferentes emoções afectam o teu voto? Que estratégias usam os partidos para te tocar — sem que te apercebas?Com base em estudos europeus e internacionais, trago-te um olhar crítico, informado e acessível sobre como a política mexe contigo — mesmo quando achas que estás a decidir só com a razão.Ouve agora e descobre como o teu cérebro emocional entra na cabine de voto contigo.

What if one of the most powerful tools to boost voter turnout isn't a flashy campaign or a new voting law—but being randomly forced to work the polls?In this episode, we explore a surprising study of women in 1930s Spain who were randomly assigned to serve as poll workers—just after they gained the right to vote. The results? A massive, 30-point increase in future voting behavior. Is this just a historical curiosity—or a window into how habit, exposure, and civic experience shape democracy?We speak with researcher Toni Rodon about his paper Working for Democracy: Poll Officers and the Turnout Gender Gap, and unpack what this unexpected experiment teaches us about gender, political culture, and the power of participation.

Richie McGinniss discussed his book "Riot Diet" and its sequel, which covers protests from Kenosha to January 6. He highlighted the shift in political paradigms, noting that while BLM protests were largely peaceful, recent protests against Tesla dealerships were more violent. McGinniss criticized the media's role in polarizing issues and emphasized the impact of social media algorithms on public perception. He also discussed the influence of special interests on politics, the rise of Trump, and the societal challenges faced by children from single-parent households, linking these to increased mental health issues and political unrest. The conversation between Richie McGinniss and Chuck Shute delves into the societal impacts of social media, the role of protests and media in shaping public perception, and the political dynamics of recent years. They discuss the influence of figures like Trump and Musk, the complexities of the BLM movement, and the challenges of bridging political divides. McGinniss shares insights from his book, highlighting the experiences of both left and right-wing individuals during protests. They also touch on the evolving nature of political parties and the importance of open-minded dialogue. The discussion concludes with hopes for a more unified and constructive approach to societal issues.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:21 - Riot Diet 1 & 2 0:01:03 - The Tesla Riots0:02:03 - Funding & Organizing Protests 0:03:12 - WTO Protests, Free Trade & Paradigm Shift 0:10:02 - Left & Right Switching Philosophies  0:13:05 - Counterculture & Silicon Valley 0:15:05 - Having Conversations & Political Participation 0:17:30 - Reinventing Platforms & Shrinking Middle Class 0:21:00 - Definition of Freedom & Extreme Right & Left 0:25:25 - White Supremacy, BLM & Race Relations 0:34:41 - Politicians Raising Money & Lobbies 0:37:30 - Motivation for Doctors, Healthcare & Covid  0:40:01 - Vaccines, Lockdowns & Perceptions0:41:30 - Red & Blue & Tribal Identity 0:43:02 - Media Bias, Hunter Biden Laptop & Trump0:48:33 - Extremes, Pejoratives, Algorithms & Media 0:51:15 - Kyle Rittenhouse is Not a Hero or White Supremacist 0:57:20 - Root Causes, Personal Happiness, & Social Media 1:07:03 - Protests, Media Narrative & Schmoozers 1:10:43 - Narrative of BLM Protests Vs.

Political rumors and misinformation pollute the political landscape. This is not a recent phenomenon; before the currently rampant and unfounded rumors about a stolen election and vote-rigging, there were other rumors that continued to spread even after they were thoroughly debunked, including doubts about 9/11 (an “inside job”) and the furor over President Obama's birthplace and birth certificate. If misinformation crowds out the truth, how can Americans communicate with one another about important issues? In Political Rumors: Why We Accept Misinformation and How to Fight It (Princeton UP, 2023), Adam Berinsky examines why political rumors exist and persist despite their unsubstantiated and refuted claims, who is most likely to believe them, and how to combat them. Drawing on original survey and experimental data, Berinsky shows that a tendency toward conspiratorial thinking and vehement partisan attachment fuel belief in rumors. Yet the reach of rumors is wide, and Berinsky argues that in fighting misinformation, it is as important to target the undecided and the uncertain as it is the true believers. We're all vulnerable to misinformation, and public skepticism about the veracity of political facts is damaging to democracy. Moreover, in a world where most people simply don't pay attention to politics, political leaders are often guilty of disseminating false information—and failing to correct it when it is proven wrong. Berinsky suggests that we should focus on the messenger as much as the message of rumors. Just as important as how misinformation is debunked is who does the debunking. Adam J. Berinsky is the Mitsui Professor of Political Science at MIT and the founding director of the MIT Political Experiments Research Lab. A specialist in the fields of political behavior and public opinion, he is the author of Silent Voices: Public Opinion and Political Participation in America (Princeton) and In Time of War: Understanding American Public Opinion from World War II to Iraq. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Join us as we explore the intricate relationship between Jews and politics in America. In our conversation, we express gratitude towards the United States for the unprecedented freedoms and safety it offers to the Jewish community, contrasting this with historical persecution elsewhere. We also examine the spiritual tension between feeling at home in America and the deep-seated longing for Israel, discussing how these dual identities can sometimes create discomfort for those who see the U.S. as their homeland. Our discussion underscores the significance of Hakaras HaTov, or recognizing good, and the importance of appreciating the political landscape that allows Jewish life and Torah study to thrive.Listen in as we navigate the complexities of balancing Torah values with political participation. We emphasize the vital role of voting as a form of gratitude for democratic rights while recognizing the influence of a higher power in worldly affairs. This episode highlights the diversity of the political landscape and acknowledges that no single party perfectly aligns with Torah values. As such, we encourage thoughtful consideration of political choices, reminding listeners not to idolize any political entity but rather align decisions with core values.In this episode, we also feature a conversation with Rabbi Nagel, delving into the dynamics of rabbinic life in Houston and the balance rabbis must maintain when discussing politics.

Dr. Jerry Park's presentation examines Asian American political views through the lens of religion and White Christian Nationalism (WCN). His findings reveal that Asian American conservative Protestants show moderate support for WCN, which influenced their preference for Trump in the 2020 election. However, WCN support is not limited to conservative Christians, as Asian American Muslims, atheists, and agnostics also display varying levels. Park argues that religious affiliation, beyond ethnicity, is a significant predictor of Asian American political behavior, underscoring the need for more nuanced data collection to capture ideological diversity.Photo by Element5 Digital on Unsplash This is a public episode.

We're just weeks away from a national election, and in our polarized society, we all know it can be difficult to find and create spaces for thoughtful policy discussions. A couple of years ago, James Fishkin, a professor of communication at Stanford, joined the podcast. He talked about a system called deliberative polling that can serve as a model for structuring small group discussions to help bring people together and bridge differences in conversations about some of the most politically fraught issues. It's an opportune time to bring this conversation back for another listen and we hope our discussion helps as you go about your conversations through this political season and beyond.  Have a question for Russ?

Dr. Yerkebulan Sairambay's New Media and Political Participation in Russia and Kazakhstan (Rowman and Littlefield, 2023) confronts the sociological problem of the usage of new media (social media, the Internet, digital technologies, messaging applications) by young people in political participation. This book not only sheds light on the ways in which new media use contributes to the nature of political participation in Kazakhstan and Russia, but also explains why citizens use these tools in their civic engagement. Dr. Sairambay sets his sights on what occurs downstream, i.e., not in the minds of political leaders and/or well known oppositionists, but on the ground in specific contexts such as cities, towns, and villages by young people. For a similar interview in the Russian language, see Dr. Sairambay's podcast episode with the University of Tartu's Centre for Eurasian and Russian Studies. Cholpon Ramizova is a London-based writer and researcher. She holds a Master's in Migration, Mobility and Development from SOAS, University of London.

Dr. Yerkebulan Sairambay's New Media and Political Participation in Russia and Kazakhstan (Rowman and Littlefield, 2023) confronts the sociological problem of the usage of new media (social media, the Internet, digital technologies, messaging applications) by young people in political participation. This book not only sheds light on the ways in which new media use contributes to the nature of political participation in Kazakhstan and Russia, but also explains why citizens use these tools in their civic engagement. Dr. Sairambay sets his sights on what occurs downstream, i.e., not in the minds of political leaders and/or well known oppositionists, but on the ground in specific contexts such as cities, towns, and villages by young people. For a similar interview in the Russian language, see Dr. Sairambay's podcast episode with the University of Tartu's Centre for Eurasian and Russian Studies.

Women continue to be under-represented in EU countries at all levels of political decision-making as well as in political parties. The origins of this situation are complex, but one reason stands out: violence against women active in politics discourages many women from entering the political arena. Women politicians are exposed to two severe and intersecting forms of violence: political violence and gender-based violence. Violence against women in politics takes multiple forms, from physical attacks to psychological and symbolic abuse, including sexual and sexist comments, online hate speech and sexual harassment, etc. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTube Source: © European Union - EP

Reviewing for AP Gov's Unit 3 Test on political participation

Margaret Ekpo (1914-2006) was a Nigerian women's rights activist and one of Nigeria's first female elected officials. She worked tirelessly for the rights and political representation of women, as well as for Nigeria's independence from British colonial rule. For Further Reading: Remembering Margaret Ekpo and the Enugu strike massacre Igbo Women and Political Participation in Nigeria, 1800s-2005 Ekpo, Margaret This Black History Month, we're talking about Revolutionaries: Black women who led struggles for liberation from violent governments, colonial rulers, and enslavers. These women had the courage to imagine radically different worlds – and used their power to try and pull those worlds into view. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones and Abbey Delk.

VYS0036 | Infinite Game - Vayse to Face with Joseph Matheny - Show Notes Some rare art transcends reality, some even rarer art seems to create a new reality altogether - the work of Joseph Matheny does both of these things while embracing the trickster spirit inherent in the magickal traditions in which his work has its roots. Joseph talks to Hine and Buckley about Ong's Hat, his "living book" project, widely recognised as the first Alternate Reality Game, and how it took on a life of it's own, not only for the people who were playing it but also for the people who created it. The conversation also turns to synchronicity and how his recent work, the Liminal Cycle, seems to generate synchronicity in the lives of those who engage with it, how his work connects so closely to magick, nature and theatre, his experiences in the North Pole and how they affected his writing, the use of magic in political systems and how the internet we know and love (to hate) today retains the legacy of the ritual magicians and DnD enthusiasts who created it...

As 2023 comes to an end, The Sentinel looks ahead to next year and the 2024 US Presidential Election. Campaigning and debates will soon dominate the news in advance of voters heading to the polls in November. In this episode of The Sentinel, we examine the ongoing barriers that American Indian and Alaska Native citizens face while exercising the right to vote. We take a look back at NCAI's historical advocacy in fighting against the disenfranchisement of Native voters, since the organization's very start.  The Sentinel welcomes Jacqueline DeLeón (Pueblo of Isleta), Staff Attorney from Native American Rights Fund. As lead of the Voting Rights practice group, and co-author of the 2020 report  Obstacles at Every Turn: Barriers to Political Participation by Native American Voters, Ms. DeLeón brings a wealth of knowledge to this subject. She offers key insights into the obstacles Native voters face and the work that partner organizations and individuals are doing to eliminate them.  Lastly, Saundra Mitrovich (Tyme and Yahomee Maidu), NCAI's Manager of External Engagement and Civic Engagement Lead, joins us for a conversation about the US Census and the remapping of voting districts. We learn more about NCAI's participation in the CHARGE coalition and its recent report card, which grades all 50 states on their redistricting progress. She speaks with us about the Census and how undercounting in Native communities impacts the ability for Tribal Communities to achieve fair representation in the electoral process.   

A large citizen survey was conducted in Bengaluru to better understand the everyday practices through which citizens effectively wield their rights. This is beyond conventional measures of voter turnout or generalisations about citizen participation in politics. The key takeaway is that the poor access the state through political participation and the rich through their influence and connections. It was also found that unlike the conventional celebration of participation as a citizenship-deepening activity, a substantial part of participation is associated with forms of brokerage that compromise democratic citizenship. In this episode of BIC Talks, political scientist Ashutosh Varshney presents the findings of the study and its implications for understanding the nature of urban democracy.

In this episode of Reviving Virtue, we delve into a profound discussion with Benjamin Studebaker, author of 'The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy, the Way Is Shut.' The conversation explores the intricate class schema of workers, professionals, and employers, and the antagonism between these classes.

The discussion also highlights the role of resentment in politics, and the impact of voter turnout on the political landscape.The episode further delves into the complexities of the American economic system and the growing resentment among different classes of society.

With the midterm elections around the corner, all eyes are on the record-breaking number of Black female candidates on the ballot. We spoke to professor of government Nadia E. Brown, who shared her research on what's contributing to the rising numbers of Black women seeking office. During the conversation, Professor Brown explored what the combined identity of being Black and female means for those who enter into politics and ways in which prior political participation becomes a key motivator for them to run for office.    For more on this topic: Check out Nadia E.
