Public Opinion (790-582) Wednesdays, 12:00 - 2:40, Hickman 313 Fall, 2016 Public Opinion (790-582) Wednesdays, 12:00 - 2:40, Hickman 313 Instructor: Professor Richard Lau (x2-9261; [email protected]) Office Hours: By appointment, Hickman 505 Class Description This course attempts to survey the vast and sprawling literature devoted to public opinion (mostly American). It is based on the assumption that we have learned a lot in the last six decades. Granted the literature is complicated and ridden with debates; nonetheless, our understanding of public opinion is substantially deeper today than it was when V.O. Key was completing Public Opinion and American Democracy over 65 years ago. Isn't it? Reading Each week's reading assignment is detailed below. Most of the reading will be from journal articles, all of which are available in Alexander Library or can be downloaded from the library’s electronic resources. (When the readings are single chapters from books, I have put scanned copies on Sakai, which I have tried to note on the syllabus.) In addition, the following required books have been ordered from the (Barnes and Noble) bookstore and should be purchased for class. They are all classics (well, nor Berinsky, but it is a good overview), and you will want to have them all on your bookshelves. The should all be on reserve at Alexander Library as well ...

Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. -1- Requirements The requirements for this class are simple: 1. Do the reading every week, and come to class prepared to discuss it. 2. Make one short presentations in class, where you will be responsible for doing some of the "optional" reading for a week (about 3 articles, or an extra book), and reporting on it to the rest of us. We will coordinate these reports the second week of class. The purpose of this practice (on which we will typically spend the second half of class every week) is to expose all of us to more of the literature than I am comfortable asking you to read every week. Thus I want whoever is responsible for the class presentation to prepare a brief (one-paragraph; or an outline) summary of every optional article/chapter you read, to be distributed to the other members of the class. But the focus of the presentation should be integrating this optional material with what we have all been reading and discussing in class. 3. Write a longer survey-based (?) research paper on some topic related to public opinion. In fact, the goal of this paper is to actually contribute to the public opinion literature, and thus to produce a paper of publishable quality (one that you would be happy to present at a convention, and eventually be willing to submit for publication). The paper can take the form of an extensive, integrating literature review, empirical analyses of extant public opinion data (the norm in this field), or some new data collection. (If you chose the last option, I will not expect your paper before the end of next Fall semester – which is fine with me.] Your topic must be approved by me, and you should choose it by the end of February at the latest. I will ask any of you "auditing" this class to do the short class presentations but not the larger paper (although feel free ...) Grades will be based on: Class Participation ......................... 50% Short Class Presentation ................ 10% Larger Research Paper ................... 40% -2- WEEKLY TOPICS/READING ASSIGNMENTS I.

  • What Triggers Public Opposition to Immigration? Anxiety, Group Cues, and Immigration Threat
    What Triggers Public Opposition to Immigration? Anxiety, Group Cues, and Immigration Threat Ted Brader University of Michigan Nicholas A. Valentino The University of Texas at Austin Elizabeth Suhay University of Michigan We examine whether and how elite discourse shapes mass opinion and action on immigration policy. One popular but untested suspicion is that reactions to news about the costs of immigration depend upon who the immigrants are. We confirm this suspicion in a nationally representative experiment: news about the costs of immigration boosts white opposition far more when Latino immigrants, rather than European immigrants, are featured. We find these group cues influence opinion and political action by triggering emotions—in particular, anxiety—not simply by changing beliefs about the severity of the immigration problem. A second experiment replicates these findings but also confirms their sensitivity to the stereotypic consistency of group cues and their context. While these results echo recent insights about the power of anxiety, they also suggest the public is susceptible to error and manipulation when group cues trigger anxiety independently of the actual threat posed by the group. mmigration surged onto the national agenda follow- tervals throughout U.S. history (Tichenor 2002). Current ing the 2004 election, as politicians wrangled over episodes reflect mounting pressures from heavy immi- I reforms on what is perceived to be a growing prob- gration and an expanding Latino electorate. West Europe lem for the United States (U.S.).

  • Emerging Trends in the Social and Behavioral Sciences
    Gender and Women’s Influence in Public Settings TALI MENDELBERG, CHRISTOPHER F. KARPOWITZ, and LAUREN MATTIOLI Abstract Does gender equality in public meetings improve as women’s numbers grow? Research applying critical mass theory to the exercise of influence in public discussion and decision making reveals a complicated story. Women have made significant progress in education, employment, and the attainment of elected office; yet, they continue to lag behind their male counterparts in substantive, symbolic, and authoritative representation. Across political, nonpolitical, and experimental settings, women’s participation and influence does not follow necessarily from their numerical proportion. We review previous studies of how women’s lower status is manifested in group interaction, and we argue that research can better identify when and how numbers matter by attending to the group’s context, institutional features, and informal norms. We describe cutting-edge research designed to explore the effects of institutional rules and norms on women’s authority. Women’s increasing numbers in positions of potential influence constitutes a timely, promising, and challenging agenda for further scholarship. WOMEN AND CRITICAL MASS THEORY One of the most intriguing theories in social science is the theory of numeri- cal representation in organizations, known as critical mass. According to this theory, elegantly outlined by Kanter, the relative prevalence of members of a subordinate social group in an organization sets in motion a set of processes that either reinforce or eliminate the group’s disadvantage in that setting (Kanter, 1977). While numbers are not destiny, they are a major cause of dis- advantage. The theory can be applied to the case of subordinate groups in general, but here we are concerned with the case of one particular group: women.

    A GEOGRAPHY OF POWER: RURAL PERSPECTIVES OF POLITICAL INEQUALITY Katherine Cramer Walsh Associate Professor of Political Science Morgridge Center for Public Service Faculty Research Scholar 110 North Hall University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706 608-265-3679 [email protected] Abstract: The globalization, advanced media technology and increased mobility of modern life has not erased the importance of place for politics. How does place matter for the way people make sense of political affairs? This study examines the use of place, particularly the rural vs. urban divide, among rural residents. It does so through a conception of public opinion as perceptions that are formulated in the midst of interpersonal interaction. It uses observation of multiple conversations among 36 groups in 27 communities sampled across a Midwestern state. The analyses reveal that rural residents imbue the urban/rural divide with perceptions of who has decision-making power, who has values consistent with their own, and who has resources. The anti-urban perspectives the paper reveals are not simply reducible to racism or partisanship. The importance of the rural/urban lens for rural residents suggests that place is a powerful identity on which political mobilization can occur. Paper prepared for presentation to the Department of Political Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, February 18, 2011. I am sincerely grateful to the people who allowed me to take part in their conversations for this study. I also thank Tim Bagshaw, Emily Erwin-Frank, Valerie Hennings, Ryan Miller, Tricia Olsen, Kerry Ratigan, and especially Sarah Niebler for transcription, translation and research assistance.

  • Deepening Democracy the Real Utopias Project
    Deepening Democracy The Real Utopias Project Series editor: Erik Olin Wright The Real Utopias Project embraces a tension between dreams and practice. It is founded on the belief that what is pragmatically possible is not fixed independently of our imaginations, but is itself shaped by our visions. The fulfillment of such a belief involves ‘real utopias’: utopian ideals that are grounded in the real potentials for redesigning social institutions. In its attempt at sustaining and deepening serious discussion of radical alternatives to existing social practices, the Real Utopias Project examines various basic institutions – property rights and the market, secondary associations, the family, the welfare state, among others – and focusses on specific proposals for their fundamental redesign. The books in the series are the result of workshop conferences, at which groups of scholars are invited to respond to provocative manuscripts.
