Dacey It has been a full year since I started at the Sine Institute on June 19th. I was excited to work for an organization committed to finding solutions in a non-partisan way; I found an excellent start at the Institute, which had been launched the previous September. A unique inaugural group of fellows helped to bring Sine to campus and began working with students. My first 90 days were focused on the education of the university and its faculty, staff, and students. Even though I was a proud Eagle Alumni, I knew this new role would take me places, and I would need relationships and partnerships all across campus to help build the vision of the Sines and President Burwell.

    REPRESENTATION, POLITICS AND MONEY: A SCREENING GUIDE “I’m running because of Cori Bush. I’m running because of Paula Jean Swearengin. I’m running because everyday Americans deserve to be represented by everyday Americans.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez TABLE OF CONTENTS 4 About the Film 5 Letter from Director, Rachel Lears 6 Using the Guide Tips for Leading Conversations Pre-Screening Discussion Questions 9 Post-Screening Background and Context Who Knocked in 2018?

They are four of the record numbers who organized grassroots campaigns, rejected corporate PAC money and challenged the notion that everyday people cannot run successful campaigns against sitting incumbents. Collectively these candidates herald a cultural and political shift to transform the process of running and electing our representatives. Such changes do not occur in a vacuum, nor are they about a singular issue. Rather they are about changing the attitudes, behaviors, terms, and outcomes of existing and entrenched norms and building to- wards a more inclusive and representative government. 4 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR, RACHEL LEARS I’ve been making films about politics since the days of Occupy Wall Street. After having a baby in 2016, I thought I might take a break from political filmmaking—but the day after the election, I knew I had no choice.

  • Philosophical Pragmatism and the Pursuit of Perfection: an Intellectual History of Barack Obama’S Foreign Policy
    Philosophical Pragmatism and the Pursuit of Perfection: An Intellectual History of Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Jonathan Middleton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History September 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the role played by philosophical pragmatism in shaping Barack Obama’s approach to foreign policy. Extending the efforts of James Kloppenberg’s Reading Obama into the foreign policy sphere, the thesis posits that such an approach is more fruitful for understanding Obama’s foreign policy presidency than previous efforts which have tended to employ conventional IR categories to situate Obama. This is a work of intellectual history, taking seriously the notion that we can draw understanding of actors in the past through the ideas and contexts which shaped their modes of thinking. This effort will thus place key Obama-era foreign policy issues in their proper intellectual context. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars, crises in Libya and Syria, the “Pivot to Asia,” and the controversial use of drone technology in a continued counterterrorism effort will each be examined. Obama’s engagement with philosophical pragmatism will not be argued as being a Deus ex machina - that which explains all - but instead forms an explication for a mode of thought that is complex and varied, but crucially, also best captures the essence of the central Obamian effort at reconciling those same contradictions.

Now, I know you guys would prefer to stand the whole time, but sit down. I will say to the Cubs: It took you long enough. I mean, I’ve only got four days left. You’re just making it under the wire. Now, listen, I -- I made a lot of promises in 2008. We’ve managed to fulfill a large number of them, but even I was not crazy enough to suggest that during these eight years we would see the Cubs win the World Series.
