How can we look at politics in 2021 from different angles? OR, maybe politics in 2021 isn’t as hopeless as we think (my words, LOL)? Dr. Laura Merrifield Wilson is Professor of Political Science at University of Indianapolis, and is frequently featured as a political analyst and panelist in the Indianapolis news media. Her areas of focus include gender and racial gaps in campaign finance, state legislatures, and taxation and public budgeting. Dr. Wilson has a real gift for analyzing and explaining our complex political systems, in ways that both engage people and challenge us to think differently about our political systems. In this conversation, she talks about issues including the underrated impacts of state and local government on our lives, and ways to think more critically about how we and the media characterize the polarization of the American electorate.

Episode 18: Dr. Laura Merrifield Wilson

Laura Merrifield Wilson’s fear after the “dumpster fire” first presidential debate is that those not fully engaged already will be “turned off from politics.” She shares, in her view, the one state to watch most closely on election night as well as whether the “crumbling of the blue wall” that took place in 2016 will continue. The University of Indianapolis political science professor dives into congressional and state races also, sharing her nonpartisan analysis on population trends, moderates running for governor in a polarized society, the engagement of college students and much more. With multiple degrees from the University of Alabama, we also venture into a little college football, her most memorable game as an in-person fan and a prediction or two.
