Diplomacy is a craft founded on trust and compromise. What lessons might its history hold for international and domestic politics today?

Просмотров 2668 месяцев назад

Просмотров 134Год назад
Emancipation in America is often presented as a single and singular undertaking. But Professor Kris Manjapra's new book, Black Ghost of Empire, complicates that story by situating America's national emancipation in a long line of global emancipations including the first emancipations, which occurred in America's North in the late 18th century that were in many ways structured to benefit former ...

Gerrymandering in America, with Nick Seabrook
Jed Perl - culture hero! I don't agree with everything he says or writes, but he cares about and can articulate why some things matter - or work in conveying meaning -and why some other things don't. This kind of discernment is essential to the human enterprise. It's also getting scarce.
RIP Ms O'connor. Thanks for this.

Great video Thank you very much for posting
Very informative and new viewpoint on emancipation
Great discussion!
Excellent presentation.
Fantastic program, thank you!
Yes, let's ask more straight white guys about expanding SCOTUS, reform & its power/legitimacy! and if we're not asking how material lying to Congress (felony) has zero accountability you're really not asking all the important Q's
what is the title and were can one get a copy of the final report? I fully support a free and independent judiciary. My service as Chair of the Cherokee Constitution Convention Commission lead to the creation of a true Supreme Court.
The full report can be found here: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/SCOTUS-Report-Final-12.8.21-1.pdf
Wonderful discussion! Many thanks to the panel for their insight and thoughts on this complex matter.
