Are all politics really local? Maxwell Palmer, Associate Professor of political science at Boston University, explains the ins and outs of politics locally and nationally and how policy changes begin at the grassroot level. He analyzes complex topics such as the use of the filibuster in a polarized Senate and the power of today's US Supreme Court vs years past. Max also shines a light on hot button local issues in the City of Newton regarding affordable housing, mass transit, zoning and how you might consider getting involved. Join us on this episode of TBA Now! to be enlightened and engaged.

Sam and Emma host Angie Maxwell, associate professor of political science at the University of Arkansas, to discuss her recent book The Long Southern Strategy: How Chasing White Voters in the South Changed American Politics, on how the Southern Strategy that completely restructured the electoral college behind the GOP's turn against social progress has found long-term success in bolstering support for the Right on terms of racial resentment, modern sexism, and Christian nationalism. Professor Maxwell begins by situating the party politics after the 40s, with the Supreme Court standing behind Jim Crow laws, and the National Democratic Party being forced into a choice to either stick behind their southern force, or the unions and coalitions that drove their base after the New Deal, ultimately seeing the southern white democratic contingent secede into the Dixiecrats, leaving room for this conservative coalition in the south. Next, she works to unpack the differences between a long- and short-term view of the Southern Strategy, with the former moving beyond the years of Nixon and playing an essential role even in the Democratic victories of Carter and Clinton, before she works to outline the clear roles of racial resentment, with the Civil Rights Movement, and sexism, with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and abortion fights, played in the GOP's Southern takeover, before shifting to the role of religion. She, Sam, and Emma dive into the complete absence of Democratic infrastructure in the South throughout the mid-to-late 20th Century – particularly when it came to unions, who made up much of their support – thus making Churches the biggest institutions of community infrastructure, in the midst of a massive ideological shift in Southern Baptist ministers to the right. Next, they turn to the role of Southern white women in bolstering the South electorally, as their religious infrastructure shifted towards fundamentalism, as they took on mass organizing to kill the ERA in their states, looking at feminism as a threat to motherhood, family, and Christianity. After touching on the role that religion played in the early aughts US imperialism and interventionism, Professor Maxwell moves to the contemporary role the strategy has played, looking at how the South, both for the GOP and Democrats, is central to setting the tone for primaries, and how Democratic messaging has to change in the south to begin to unpack and restructure voters' perspectives and beliefs on progressive policy goals. Sam and Emma also touch on how the month since the filibuster changed has obviously cemented the tool in the Senate, never to change again. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma are joined by Nomiki Konst as they cover the GOP and Democratic analysts coming to the bipartisan consensus that their bases are what's wrong, and walk through some of the worst and even worse invocations of MLK from yesterday, including Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin's CRT bill, Crowder's dishonest honesty, and Eric Adams painting a picture of MLK as the baller hick from… Atlanta. Nomiki talks about Crypto bros and their ongoing attempt to recolonize Puerto Rico, Stinchfield admires the hysterical women that want national unity, and Jimmy Dore reminds us of the dangers of the white moderates that got in the way of Force the Vote, like AOC.

This Friedman Seminar features Daniel Maxwell, professor, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and acting director, Feinstein International Center, presenting “The 2011 Famine in Somalia: Beyond a Food Security Crisis." Abstract This presentation will be based on Professor Maxwell’s retrospective research on the 2011 famine in South Central Somalia, that resulted in the recent book, Famine in Somalia: Competing Imperatives, Collective Failures (Oxford University Press, 2016). The presentation will trace the causes and consequences of the food security, malnutrition and mortality crisis, but then address the complicating factors that made this such a deadly crisis. Some 258,000 people lost their lives in the famine, and hundreds of thousands more were displaced or had their livelihoods severely disrupted. These complications include the history and political economy of three-plus decades of continuous humanitarian assistance in Southern Somalia, the rule of Al Shabaab and the war between Al Shabaab and the fledgling Somali Transitional Federal Government, its Africa Union partners, and expeditionary forces from Kenya and Ethiopia, donor counter terrorism policies that put a significant constraint on external humanitarian assistance, the engagement of non-western humanitarian actors, the role of the diaspora and urban-based lineage and kin groups in responding to the crisis, and the way in which internal social dynamics shaped both the crisis itself and brutal abuses that people faced when displaced.

Abstract: The World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) will be held in Istanbul May 22 – 24, 2016. Hailed as a “once in a generation” opportunity, the WHS must come to grips with the massive challenges facing humanitarian action globally, and chart a new course of action in the face of unprecedented demands on a system that is increasingly outdated, under-funded and overwhelmed by events. At the same time, it has become increasingly clear that there is not a single humanitarian “system,” but actually multiple systems, often operating side by side. Demands from the global south call for a more open and inclusive humanitarian system, with more emphasis on localizing response. Donors call for greater accountability and value for money. Critics call for better learning and use of evidence. And of course, everyone calls for more money and more dependable funding streams. A global consultative process has helped to set the agenda of WHS, but many donors, governments, agencies, and think tanks have also weighed in separately with their own recommendations. The Feinstein International Center of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy has been jointly leading a study titled “Planning from the Future” which has conducted a thorough review of the burgeoning academic and grey literature on humanitarian action, and case studies in multiple humanitarian emergencies to assess the current challenges and capacities of many different humanitarian actors, in an attempt to background analysis and evidence for many of the questions facing the WHS. Professor Maxwell will briefly address the question of what the WHS is, what’s on the agenda, what’s not, and what is behind some of the recommendations on the table? He will also present the findings of the “Planning from the Future” and the short-term and longer-term recommendations growing out of that study, which go well beyond the agenda of the WHS, and speak to the evidence shaping the agenda and outcomes of the WHS. Finally, he will address the relevance of the WHS to a broader nutrition agenda. Bio: Daniel Maxwell is a Professor of Humanitarian Studies at Tufts University, and research director at the Feinstein International Center at Tufts. He leads the research program in food security and livelihoods in complex emergencies and teaches courses in food security and humanitarian action. Since 2012, he has directed the Masters of Arts in Humanitarian Assistance (MAHA) program. Prior to coming to Tufts, he was the Deputy Regional Director for CARE International in East Africa, and before that worked at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Land Tenure Center at the University of Wisconsin, and Mennonite Central Committee. His research focuses on famine and food security crises, livelihoods systems under stress, humanitarian policy and the humanitarian landscape, and the measurement of food security. Most of his recent work has been in East Africa and the Greater Horn of Africa. His most recent book, Famine in Somalia: Competing Imperatives, Collectives Failures, co-authored with Nisar Majid, has just been published (Oxford University Press, 2016). He also is the co-author, with Chris Barrett of Cornell University, of Food Aid After Fifty Years: Recasting Its Role (2005), which had far-ranging impacts on food aid practice and policy; and co-author with Peter Walker of , Shaping the Humanitarian World (2009). He holds a Masters Degree from Cornell University and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin.
