Associationof Population Centers ASSOCIATION OF POPULATION CENTERS 2019 Resource Guide Greetings – On behalf of the Association of Population Centers (APC), I am proud to share with you the 2019 edition of the APC Resource Guide, a compendium of individual profles of the nation’s premier independent population research organizations. In these pages you will fnd a comprehensive overview of the current state of population science including research subject matter; interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaborations; and, applications to real-world decision-making and policy development. Founded in 1991, the Association of Population Centers is an independent group of university-based centers and private sector research organizations whose mission is to: • Foster collaborative demographic research and data-sharing • Translate basic population research for public policy decision-makers • Provide educational and training opportunities in population studies Approximately 40 distinct entities comprise the APC. The centers are by design interdisciplinary, drawing faculty and research staff from diverse felds such as demography, economics, geography, medicine, public health, biology, public policy, and sociology. Scholars at APC centers conduct research on the individual, societal and environmental implications of population change. Their diverse interests include topics such as retirement, minority health, aging, adolescent health, childcare, immigration and migration, family formation and dissolution, fertility, morbidity and mortality, post-disaster resilience and population forecasting. This research, in turn, serves to inform planning, policy formulation and decision-making at the local, regional, national and even international levels. APC centers rely on an array of public and private funding sources to support their scientists’ research. The National Institute on Aging and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health provide most of the competitive federal funding for demographic research. The National Science Foundation and the Agency for International Development are two other important sources of federal support. Population researchers also rely on accessible data produced by the Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to conduct their research.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

It is the right of the public to be informed, rather than any right on the part of the Government, any broadcast licensee or any individual member of the public to broadcast his own particular views on any matter, which is the foundation stone of the American system of broadcasting.1 INTRODUCTION Public funding for National Public Radio (“NPR”) has come under fire, yet again.

Science Friday will continue to be heard each Friday at 1 p.m. "Listeners who enjoyed The Kathleen Dunn Show will find 1A covers similar topics with a familiar in- depth approach,” said Sheryl Gasser, Program Director of The Ideas Network. “Joshua leans into topics like health care, immigration, science and pop culture in a way that is compelling and informative. We're excited to have his voice in Wisconsin." With a name inspired by the First Amendment, 1A explores the politics, technology and pop culture that connect and divide America today. Listeners can expect a mix of several segments in each hour while staying close to the news of the day. 1A is produced by WAMU in Washington, D.C. and distributed by NPR. “If it wasn't for Wisconsin, there might not be a ‘public radio’. We owe your state a lot!,” host Joshua Johnson said, referring to WPR’s centennial legacy as the oldest public radio station in the nation. “Hopefully 1A helps repay that debt with the kind of engaging, compelling and meaningful conversations you helped invent.” Johnson’s professional background has him well prepared to host 1A.
