Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Ph.D., quoted in the September 1 edition of The Chicago Tribune discussing Michelle Obama’s role in the 2012 Presidential Election. “When the first lady is perceived as a vulnerability, the consultants move her off the stage very quickly,” Prof. Jamieson said.
Prof. Jamieson also was interviewed by The Los Angeles Times for an August 31 story about how the government uses Madison Avenue spin to package itself in its response to natural disasters. “People are performing a family-like function in a time of crisis,” said Dr. Jamieson […] the question is are we a dysfunctional family?”
Carlin Romano published a “Books of the Times” review of Bruce Duffy’s novel about French poet Arthur Rimbaud, Disaster Was My God, in the New York Times on August 24 (and in the International Herald Tribune on Aug. 31). Earlier this summer, his article on the Dalai Lama’s embrace of Marxism appeared in the Wall Street Journal, and his essay on the philosophers Ronald Dworkin and James Miller in the Summer issue of The American Scholar. Romano spent part of the summer as an Academic Fellow at Tel Aviv University, participating in a seminar about Israel’s efforts to balance security and democratic values. His article on that subject, “Israel’s Two-State Solution: Security State, Free Expression State,” ran in August in The Chronicle of Higher Education, for which he is Critic-at-Large.
Doctoral student Jeffrey A. Gottfried, Dean Michael X. Delli Carpini, Ph.D.; and Prof. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Ph.D., published in Political Research Quarterly.
