  • Understanding Persistence in the Resistance Authors: Dana R
    Understanding Persistence in the Resistance Authors: Dana R. Fisher1 and Lorien Jasny2 Abstract Since Donald Trump’s Inauguration, large-scale protest events have taken place around the US, with many of the biggest events being held in Washington, DC. The streets of the nation’s capital have been flooded with people marching about a diversity of progressive issues including women’s rights, climate change, and gun violence. Although research has found that these events have mobilized a high proportion of repeat participants who come out again-and-again, limited research has focused on understanding differential participation in protest, especially during one cycle of contention. This paper, accordingly, explores the patterns among the protest participants to understand differential participation and what explains persistence in the Resistance. In it, we analyze a unique dataset collected from surveys conducted with a random sample of protest participant at the largest protest events in Washington, DC since the inauguration of Donald Trump. Our findings provide insights into repeat protesters during this cycle of contention. The paper concludes by discussion how our findings contribute to the research on differential participation and persistence. Keywords: protest, social movements, mobilization, persistence, the Resistance, 1 Department of Sociology, University of Maryland, 2112 Parren Mitchell Art-Sociology Building 3834 Campus Drive, College Park, MD 20742, [email protected] 2 Department of Politics, University of Exeter, Exeter, Devon UK EX4 4SB, [email protected] Introduction Since Donald Trump’s Inauguration, large-scale protest events have taken place around the US, with many of the biggest events being held in Washington, DC.

Allard August 2020 Accepted by: R. Andrew Hurley, Committee Chair Chad Navis Gregory Pickett Adam L. Warber ABSTRACT How do politics influence the geographic distribution of science funding? I investigate this question in the context of presidential politics. Science policy scholars endeavor to develop a systems-level understanding—using empirical data and quantitative analysis—of how governments make decisions about science. In the United States, one of the most important decisions that governments make is the allocation of federal funding from agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation to researchers and universities. Science policy scholars typically explain the distribution of science funding through scientists’ or universities’ merit. I challenge these explanations’ assumption that presidential politics does not play a role.

  • How the March for Science Splits Researchers Nature Asked Members of the Scientific Community Whether Or Not They Plan to March on 22 April — and Why
    NATURE | NEWS How the March for Science splits researchers Nature asked members of the scientific community whether or not they plan to march on 22 April — and why. Erin Ross 18 April 2017 Clarified: 19 April 2017 Calls from US President Donald Trump to roll back environmental regulations and slash funding for health, environmental and research agencies have raised alarm in the scientific community. Earlier this year, a commenter on the social-media website Reddit made an off- hand remark about the need for scientists to march on Washington DC. That thread has since grown into an international movement. The March for Science now includes more than 500 events — including marches, rallies and teach-ins — planned for locations around the world. But support for the march, set to occur on 22 April, has been far from unanimous. Some, who think that science should remain non- partisan, are concerned that the movement will politicize it. Others have voiced concerns about diversity and inclusiveness. Nature spoke with people around the world about the reasons they will or won’t attend a March for Science event. The answers below have been edited for length and clarity. Kellie Dean is a lecturer at University College Cork in Ireland, specializing in biochemistry and cell and molecular biology. “I am going so I can stand up for evidence-based policies and the scientific method. I also support robust funding of science and transparent reporting of scientific results. The current wave of ‘anti-science’ rhetoric goes against everything that I am trying to do as a scientist and an educator.
