Beginning with his doctoral studies at Syracuse University (NY) in 1970 and until his retirement in 2018, he collected materials on the practice and history of public relations in the American public sector. In the 1990s, he expanded his collecting to include the practice of public relations by NGOs in the US (nonprofits in American parlance). In 2017, he donated about 40 books to Bournemouth University’s library dealing with the practice of PR by governmental agencies and NGOs in the 20th and early 21st centuries. These were incorporated into the library’s collection.

  • The Impact of Race Upon Legislators' Policy Preferences and Bill
    THE IMPACT OF RACE UPON LEGISLATORS’ POLICY PREFERENCES AND BILL SPONSORSHIP PATTERNS: THE CASE OF OHIO DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Linda M. Trautman, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor William E. Nelson, Jr., Adviser Professor Tom Nelson ________________________ Adviser Professor Herbert Weisberg Political Science Graduate Program Copyright Linda M. Trautman 2007 ABSTRACT The principal purpose of this research is to explain and to analyze the policy preferences of Black and White state legislators in the Ohio General Assembly. In particular, the study seeks to understand whether or not Black state legislators advocate a distinctive policy agenda through an analysis of their policy preferences and bill sponsorship patterns. Essentially, one of the central objectives of the study is to determine the extent to which legislators’ perceptions of their policy preferences actually correspond with their legislative behavior (i.e., bill sponsorship patterns). In addition to understanding the impact of race upon legislative preferences, I also analyze additional factors (e.g., institutional features, district characteristics, etc.) which potentially influence legislators’ policy preferences and legislative behavior. The data for this inquiry derive from personal interviews with members of the Ohio legislature conducted in the early to late 1990’s and legislative bills introduced in the 1998-1999 session. The analyses of these data suggest that Black state legislators exhibit distinctive agenda setting behavior measured in terms of their policy priorities and bill sponsorship patterns in comparison to White state legislators.
