It has, at times, driven progress but it also has, at times, elevated the nation's negative impulses - including racism and anti-immigration. Panelists Jonathan Cullick, Philip Moberg, and Jeffrey Williams look at populism through the lens of history, psychology, and literature. Dr. Jeffrey Williams, former chair of NKU's Department of History and Geography, discusses populist threads in American history. Dr. Philip Moberg, director of NKU's graduate program in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, talks about the concept of \u0022toxic leaders\u0022 and how followers can counteract their impact. Lastly, Dr. Jonathan Cullick, professor in NKU's Department of English, describes the rhetoric of populism. The panel is moderated by Jennifer Kinsey, J.D., associate dean and professor in the Chase College of Law. Professor Kinsey's research focuses on the First Amendment right of free expression.","duration":null,"file_audio":null,"file_video":"1682964430278lnlGt.mp4","compressed":1,"img_profile":"f\/users\/63fe0b5dc3858_th.jpg","slug":"perspectives-on-populism-4zXyLE1HR","date_published_readable":"May 01, 2023","author":"Community Lecture Series","author_slug":"community-lecture-series-4zXyLE1Jw","keywords":[{"name":"six@six","slug":"six-six-4zXyLE1J6"},{"name":"nku","slug":"nku-4zXyLE1J7"},{"name":"populism","slug":"populism-4zXyLE1Ka"},{"name":"american history","slug":"american-history-4zXyLE1Kb"},{"name":"psychology","slug":"psychology-4zXyLE1Kc"},{"name":"rhetoric","slug":"rhetoric-4zXyLE1Kd"}],"disciplines":[]},{"ID":82,"status":40,"date_created":"2023-05-01 15:23:01","article_ID":82,"audience_type":2,"stats_view":76,"stats_like":0,"stats_save":0,"stats_play":0,"title":"Frederick Douglass and the Anti-Slavery Movement in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky","abstract":"NKU Professor Dr. Robert Wallace presents highlights from his forthcoming book Frederick Douglass, Cincinnati Antislavery, and the Abolitionist Origins of the Republican Party.

Initially, these policies limited the persons who could cast votes. Even after the federal government expanded the franchise, states adopted new means to prevent voting by certain segments of society. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 addressed many of these devices, but new means have arisen. Furthermore, policies that determine voter registration and the times and methods of voting unnecessarily limit voter participation. Examples from several states and other countries suggest changes that could increase voter participation in the United States.","duration":null,"file_audio":null,"file_video":"16825318437124Pqf0.mp4","compressed":1,"img_profile":"f\/users\/63fe0b5dc3858_th.jpg","slug":"u-s-voter-suppression-in-context-past-current-efforts-to-reduce-voting-strength-4zXyLE1HG","date_published_readable":"April 26, 2023","author":"Community Lecture Series","author_slug":"community-lecture-series-4zXyLE1Jw","keywords":[{"name":"six@six","slug":"six-six-4zXyLE1J6"},{"name":"nku","slug":"nku-4zXyLE1J7"},{"name":"vote","slug":"vote-4zXyLE1JL"},{"name":"voter suppression","slug":"voter-suppression-4zXyLE1JM"}],"disciplines":[]},{"ID":58,"status":40,"date_created":"2023-03-24 14:17:25","article_ID":58,"audience_type":2,"stats_view":273,"stats_like":1,"stats_save":0,"stats_play":0,"title":"Organizing for Action: Women's Suffrage in Northern Kentucky","abstract":"Northern Kentucky women were influential in both the Kentucky and national movements for women's suffrage.

Alternate voting schemes wherein the voters rank their choices instead of just voting for their first preference certainly capture the voter preferences in a richer format, but they do not explicitly capture the negative preferences. Here we propose a voting scheme that blends negative voting within a cumulative voting system. In this scheme, we can simultaneously decipher the popularity as well as the polarity of each candidate contesting in the election, giving us a two dimensional view of the candidates. An incentive structure can be built into voting system whereby we can penalize the candidates for their polarity and discourage polarizing campaign rhetorics. Theoretically, this could help depolarize the heated political environment and level the playing field for third party candidates.

We study how meritocratic beliefs about success relate to individuals\u2019 social mobility experiences: is subjective upward mobility associated with meritocratic attributions of success, and downward mobility with structuralist views? Whereas previous studies addressed the relevance of individuals\u2019 current position or objective mobility, we leverage Diagonal Reference Models to disentangle the role of subjective mobility, origin and destination. Surveying a representative Dutch sample (n = 1,507), we find, echoing the Thomas\u2019 theorem, that if people experience social mobility as real, it is real in its consequences: subjective upward mobility is associated with stronger meritocratic beliefs and downward mobility is associated with stronger structuralist beliefs\u2014but has no bearing on people\u2019s meritocracy beliefs. This helps understand the muted political response to growing inequality: a small share of upwardly mobile individuals may suffice to uphold public faith in meritocracy.","duration":null,"file_audio":null,"file_video":"1675355769270MK09d.mp4","compressed":1,"img_profile":"f\/users\/63dbe5328b35f_th.jpg","slug":"belief-in-meritocracy-reexamined-scrutinizing-the-role-of-subjective-social-mobility-4zXyLE1H3","date_published_readable":"February 02, 2023","author":"Jonathan Mijs","author_slug":"jonathan-mijs-4zXyLE1IR","keywords":[{"name":"social mobility","slug":"social-mobility-4zXyLE1I4"},{"name":"meritocracy","slug":"meritocracy-4zXyLE1I5"},{"name":"inequality","slug":"inequality-4zXyLE1I6"},{"name":"drm","slug":"drm-4zXyLE1I7"},{"name":"netherlands","slug":"netherlands-4zXyLE1I8"}],"disciplines":[]}],"count":6},"head\/og\/url":"disciplines\/political-science-4zXyLE1IS","head\/title":"Podcasts for the discipline political-science","head\/description":"Podcasts for the discipline political-science","URL_MEDIA":"https:\/\/media.podscholars.com\/"}
