Our formula is simple. We start with high‐quality, peer‐reviewed academic research, prescribe innovative solutions for the nation’s economic questions, and end with high‐impact outreach strategies that inform and educate policy makers, opinion leaders, advocates and the public. This fiscal year, we made strategic investments in our ability to facilitate this theory of change. Namely, we focused on building a solid platform to support research, including building our communications capacity and increasing our collaboration with coalition partners. In 2010, we went live with a new website, www.economicpolicyresearch.org, to replace our previous static site for one which gave us the functionality of a modern communications platform. Now, we have the functionality to allow our research team and collaborators an interactive forum to discuss public events, post research, and respond to Teresa Ghilarducci, SCEPA questions within the larger issue environment. Supportive communications and social media, including our Director and Professor, @SCEPA_Economics Twitter feed and Facebook page, allow us to target our many interactive audiences and build a Bernard L. and Irene Schwartz Chair in Economic rapid response capability for both traditional and non‐traditional media. Policy Analysis In the first year, SCEPA’s website climbed to second on Google for economic policy research, putting our site in the company of older, more resourced organizations.

  • Sasha Mackay Thesis
    STORYTELLING AND NEW MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES: INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF THE ABC’S HEYWIRE FOR REGIONAL YOUTH Sasha Mackay Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons), Creative Writing Production Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 Keywords Australian Broadcasting Corporation Heywire new media narrative identity public service media regional Australia storytelling voice youth Storytelling and new media technologies: investigating the potential of the ABC’s Heywire for regional youth i Abstract This thesis takes a case study approach to examine the complexity of audience participation within the Australian public service media institution, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). New media technologies have both enabled and necessitated an increased focus on user created content and audience participation within the context of public service media (PSM) worldwide and such practices are now embedded within the remit of these institutions. Projects that engage audiences as content creators and as participants in the creation of their own stories are now prevalent within PSM; however, these projects represent spaces of struggle: a variety of institutional and personal agendas intersect in ways that can be fruitful though at other times produce profound challenges. This thesis contributes to the wider conversation on audience participation in the PSM context by examining the tensions that emerge at this intersection of agendas, and the challenges and potentials these produce for the institution as well as the individuals whose participation it invites. The case study for this research – Heywire – represents one of the first instances of content-related participation within the ABC.

James is the author of twelve novels, most recently The Cloister, which the New York Times called “incandescent,” and eight works of nonfiction, most recently Christ Actually: The Son of God for the Secular Age, of which the Boston Globe said: “At once stunningly original and strangely familiar, a testament to the power of a critical, creative faith.” Other books include the National Book Award– winning memoir An American Requiem; the New York Times bestseller Constantine’s Sword, which was turned into a feature-length documentary film; House of War, which won the first PEN-John Kenneth GalBraith Award; and Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which was named a 2011 Best Book by Publishers Weekly. His Books that have dealt explicitly with church reform include Toward a New Catholic Church: The Promise of Reform in 2002 and Practicing Catholic in 2009. In 2012, DouBleday puBlished Vatican II: The Essential Documents, translated by Norman Tanner, with introductions from James Carroll and Pope Benedict the Sixteenth. In addition to his novels and nonfiction work, James has published a collection of poetry, Forbidden Disappointments, and his plays have been produced at the Berkshire Theater Festival and at Boston’s Next Move Theater. His essays and articles have appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Daily Beast, and other publications. His op-ed page column ran regularly in the Boston Globe from 1992 to 2015.

  • Pentecostal History
    Pentecostal History By Tim Naab Psalms 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Isaiah 8:16-20 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. "The loud speaker or singer believes that his self-induced hypnotic trance is *enthusiasm and he believes that this means that god is within. He doesn't know that Philo coined this word to describe those afflicted, as in Corinth, with enthus o mania - just momentary insanity. Philo "developed a doctrine of ecstasy or ek-stasis, which means standing outside oneself.' This is the highest form of piety which lies beyond faith. This mysticism unites prophetic ecstasy with *'enthusiasm', a word which comes from en-theos-mania, meaning to possess the divine. From this there comes finally the fully developed mystical system of the Neo-Platonists, for example, of Dionysus the Areopagite.

  • New Hampshire Road Trip!
    JANUARY 2012 Remembering Longtime IOP Advisor Milt Gwirtzman New JFK Jr. Forum Microsite Alumni Q & A with Peter Buttigieg ’04 2012 Polling and Research Careers and Internships New Mayors Conference NEW HAMPSHIRE ROAD TRIP! With the 2012 Republican presidential primary race in high gear this fall, students packed buses to nearby New Hampshire to meet presidential candidates as the IOP conducted timely younger voter public opinion research in Iowa and the Granite State. Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University Trey Grayson, Director The 2012 election cycle is in high gear, and the past six months have been fast- paced at the Institute. As you will note in this newsletter, the IOP has been at the forefront of election and campaign-related programming, with events, conferences and younger voter research unavailable anywhere else. One of my biggest goals since beginning service as the Institute’s Director has been to improve how the IOP utilizes technology – in an effort to maximize efficiency internally and best distribute and share our content externally to audiences inter- ested in politics and public service. Toward this end, we are very pleased this month to unveil the new online home for John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum programming at www.jfkjrforum.org (see feature on next page). The new microsite not only has a state-of-the art design but also can broadcast Forum programming in a format allowing Forum events to be streamed live or viewed later on any computer or device, including iPads and iPhones. We are also hard at work building a new IOP-wide website – scheduled to be completed next fall – which improves our current website layout and better integrates key online content from Institute students and student publications like the Harvard Political Review.

    HARVARD UNIVERSITY John F. WINTER 2003 Kennedy School of Message from the Director INSTITUTE Government Spring 2003 Fellows Forum Renaming New Members of Congress OF POLITICS An Intern’s Story Laughter in the Forum: Jon Stewart on Politics and Comedy Welcome to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University D AN G LICKMAN, DIRECTOR The past semester here at the Institute brought lots of excitement—a glance at this newsletter will reveal some of the fine endeavors we’ve undertaken over the past months. But with a new year come new challenges. The November elections saw disturbingly low turnout among young voters, and our own Survey of Student Attitudes revealed widespread political disengagement in American youth. This semester, the Institute of Politics begins its new initiative to stop the cycle of mutual dis- engagement between young people and the world of politics. Young people feel that politicians don’t talk to them; and we don’t. Politicians know that young people don’t vote; and they don’t. The IOP’s new initiative will focus on three key areas: participation and engagement in the 2004 elections; revitalization of civic education in schools; and establishment of a national database of political internships. The students of the IOP are in the initial stages of research to determine the best next steps to implement this new initiative. We have experience To subscribe to the IOP’s registering college students to vote, we have had success mailing list: with our Civics Program, which sends Harvard students Send an email message to: [email protected] into community middle and elementary schools to teach In the body of the message, type: the importance of government and politics.

Carroll is a practicing Catholic whose search for the truth leads him to confront persecution and violence in the name of God – today and in the Church’s past. He discovers a terrible legacy that reverberates across the centuries: from the Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power, to the rise of genocidal anti-Semitism, to modern day wars sparked by religious extremism. At its heart, CONSTANTINE’S SWORD is a detective story, as Carroll journeys into his own past (his father was a U.S. Air Force General who helped prepare for nuclear war) and into the wider world, where he uncovers evidence of church-sanctioned violence against non-Christians. At the Air Force Academy, he and Jacoby expose how some evangelicals are proselytizing inside our country's armed forces and reveal the dangerous consequences of religious influence on American foreign policy. Warning of what happens when military power and religious fervor are joined, this timely film asks the question: is the fanaticism that threatens the world today fueled by our own deeply held beliefs? DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT We’re living in a world at war.
