You will learn how to read, analyze, and critically-evaluate public opinion research; you will learn about “leading” and “trailing” research indicators; and you will understand why “character” attributes often matter more than “performance” attributes and issue positions. You will see how political campaigns, lobbyists, public relations professionals and others leverage public opinion to impact perceptions, as well as political, policy and business outcomes. Because this course is being taught in the nation’s capital, where politics and policy converge, we will be able to hear from political professionals from both political parties, congressional staffers, journalists, and others who will share their insights about how they apply public opinion research to conduct campaigns, shape policy, report the news, or address business challenges. There is an existing and established core reading list for this course, which we will use as the foundational reading for the course.

  • March 27, 2020 the Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel
    March 27, 2020 The Honorable Pat Cipollone White House Counsel 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Cipollone: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that you take all necessary steps to ensure that a “shadow task force” reportedly being used by Senior White House Advisor Jared Kushner to deal with the economic and health consequences of the coronavirus pandemic complies fully with all laws, including the Presidential Records Act (“PRA”) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”). Mr. Kushner’s shadow task force appears to be violating key aspects of the PRA, and his use of it implicates the FACA’s public transparency provisions. The extraordinary measures needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic make these transparency and accountability requirements even more important. According to recent press reports, Mr. Kushner has assembled a team of allies within the government and with representatives from private industries to work with the administration’s official coronavirus task force.1 Other officials involved in the administration’s response to the coronavirus have called this team a “shadow task force” that issues requests “they interpret as orders they must balance with regular response efforts.”2 Of particular concern, these outside advisers do not appear to be following proper governmental protocols. For example, they are using private email addresses to email large groups of government employees, creating security concerns and sowing further confusion.3 The PRA imposes on the President and his staff, including Mr. Kushner, the mandatory obligation to document, preserve, and maintain as presidential records “the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties[.]”44 U.S.C.

  • The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21St Century Stand-Up
    The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage © 2018 Rachel Eliza Blackburn M.F.A., Virginia Commonwealth University, 2013 B.A., Webster University Conservatory of Theatre Arts, 2005 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Theatre and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Dr. Katie Batza Dr. Henry Bial Dr. Sherrie Tucker Dr. Peter Zazzali Date Defended: August 23, 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Rachel E. Blackburn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Performance of Intersectionality on the 21st Century Stand-Up Comedy Stage Chair: Dr. Nicole Hodges Persley Date Approved: Aug. 23, 2018 iii Abstract In 2014, Black feminist scholar bell hooks called for humor to be utilized as political weaponry in the current, post-1990s wave of intersectional activism at the National Women’s Studies Association conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her call continues to challenge current stand-up comics to acknowledge intersectionality, particularly the perspectives of women of color, and to encourage comics to actively intervene in unsettling the notion that our U.S. culture is “post-gendered” or “post-racial.” This dissertation examines ways in which comics are heeding bell hooks’s call to action, focusing on the work of stand-up artists who forge a bridge between comedy and political activism by performing intersectional perspectives that expand their work beyond the entertainment value of the stage. Though performers of color and white female performers have always been working to subvert the normalcy of white male-dominated, comic space simply by taking the stage, this dissertation focuses on comics who continue to embody and challenge the current wave of intersectional activism by pushing the socially constructed boundaries of race, gender, sexuality, class, and able-bodiedness.

Moreover, given the amount of time they spend using more than one medium simultaneously, today’s youth pack a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes worth of media content into those daily 71⁄2 hours—an increase of almost 2 1 ⁄4 hours of media exposure per day over the Heavy exposure past five years.

  • Lasalle Work from Home Guide
    A GUIDE TO WORKING FROM HOME WORK TIPS AND TRICKS Hey, this is new to most of us. Take a moment to decompress and check out these tips on how to effectively work from home while crushing business. Pick a spot – Make an “office” area with plenty of light and if possible, a door to shut. If you have a desk, use it. Get a schedule, try to stick with It – Use your calendar to plan your day and check tasks off as you complete them. Routine – Try to mimic your normal morning and nighttime routines. Do you usually wake up and work out? Don’t stop now! Use online resources to get your sweat on. Does a walk at noon break up your day? Get outside and safely (remember, 6 feet) breathe some fresh air. Take breaks and let your team know – When you feel yourself craving the afternoon break, do it! Let your team know you are stepping away for 20 minutes so they can help field calls, answer questions, etc. Better yet, schedule time in advance to hold yourself accountable.. Use your commute time – Now that you don’t have to drive, bus or walk to work – use that time! Whether it’s cooking breakfast, doing a 20 minute power clean or meditating, it can be a great addition to your day. 1 STAY HEALTHY Keep up with your diet – Try to avoid snacking on treats you have in the house. Eating more sugar has proven to impact your mood and energy level. Stay healthy – Take a walk, do a workout or stretch at least once a day.
