To get out of the government any records government held as long as they were not damaging to National Security or law enforcement. Or personal privacy. Reluctant because everyone has federal agencies thought this was a nightmare. People can rummage through the files. We can do that. Moyers help the newspaper editors to marshal their argument about how we are in favor of open government. One of the fascinating things we found was that bill moyer had written a nice statement for president on the johnson where this legislation springs from our most essential principles that democracy works best when the people know what the government is doing. They must have access to the policy rules. Government officials should not have curtains of secrecy. We now know from lbjs own schedule that on the telephone, johnson called moyer and said cut that out. O xer have to has t through this declaration of freedom of information and then says this spring from one of our most essential principles, democr
Politics over the last 20 years, starts eing in the middle of the 19 90s, up through the 2014 Midterm Election cycle to explain some of the differences between the republican and democratic parties when it came to taking up technology in the service of electoral goals. Host what do you mean by the term, prototype politics. Guest what i wanted to think about and think through where does innovation come from through political campaigning. How do campaigners invent new technologies and new tools. How do they take up new social media platforms to use them for new ways. How do they find new ways to engage the electorate whether on twit other or snapchat. What i wanted to think about reading the sociology literature and Political Science literature and communication literature why is it so important . In the book i talk about how campaigns become prototypes. Which is models for doing things differently in electoral politics and there is a couple of really key examples of that. Probably most

Captioning performed by vitac so one of the joys is to be able to collect africanamerican film. Its one of my areas of interest. We were able to get an amazing collection of movie posters such as the ones behind you. That is an early oscar movie poster from the 1920s. And then part of our job is to help people relearn history they think they know. That movie poster is from spencer williams, known by most people as playing in amos and andy, one of the most important black film directors in the late 30s and 40s. We have Amazing Things in here.

Shows the way in which people are actually equally qualified can be put in an environment in which the context will do something within them that actually makes them perform less well than they would in another context and this been replicated in scores of studies.

If you remove that stereotype threat by saying, host of the time women dont do as well as men on difficult tasks but thats not true at this particular test the scores will be less. The same with white men playing basketball against the black man or white men doing against asians et cetera. So what would it mean to try to disrupt these processes of different creation . Well again, here i would have to refer to a lot of the social Science Literature but let me give you a few quick examples. First of all the rationale for affirmative action changes. Its no
