NCAPSA AMERICAN POLITICS WORKSHOP
June 6, 2018 | 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
American University
Don Myers Technology and Innovation Building, Room 111
Hosted by the Women & Politics Institute
PROGRAM
Beginning at 10:00 a.m., refreshments (light snacks, coffee, tea, etc.) will be available. We will start the workshop promptly at 10:30 a.m.
In order to maximize discussion, authors will not provide detailed presentations. Instead, they may offer brief introductory comments, and then we will open the floor to questions. Participants are expected to have read the papers (below) so that virtually all of the time can be devoted to Q&A.
10:30 a.m.: Sarah Binder (GW/Brookings): "Rule Bending in the Contemporary Senate"
11:30 a.m.: Lisa Argyle (BYU), Ian Gray (UCLA), Matti Nelimarkka (Aalto University/University of Helsinki), and Rochelle Terman (Stanford): "Cultural Threats and Islamophobia in American News Media"
12:30 p.m.: Lunch
1:15 p.m.: David Barker (AU), Kim L. Nalder (Cal State, Sacramento), Jessica Newham (Cal State, Sacramento): "The Right (and Left) to Petition: Unpacking Partisan Differences in Political Protest Intolerance"
2:15 p.m.: David Karol (Maryland): "Elite Opinion and Institutional Policy Conflict in the United States: The Case of Foreign Aid"
