#24 Learnng Matters with Dr. Andrew Perrin

Heading into a new presidential election cycle, we reconnect with 2008 guest Dr Andrew Perrin to talk about changes in the American political public. In his new book, American Democracy: From Tocqueville to Town Halls to Twitter, Perrin brings a uniquely sociological approach to the study of democracy. More than polls, candidates, and institutions he shows how major elections become about the performance of certain “publics” as much as they decide which people should lead us. Find that 2008 episode here, and while you’re at it, check out this 2015 TSP Roundtable in which he talks Tea Party and identity politics. Download Office Hours #118

Andrew Perrin on American Political Publics

Does all that chatter on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook serve a useful purpose?  I certainly hope so, since I’m on all of them (well, except Pinterest)! In another first for the podcast, this week I interview Dr. Andrew Perrin, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina and my mentor, about Habermas’s idea of the public sphere.  Dr. Perrin explains the concept and talks about how he has applied it in his research on American Democracy, public opinion polling, and more. Listen: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/271472177/Episode%207.mp3 Download For Further Reading Check out Dr. Perrin’s new book, American Democracy. He summarizes the book’s central thesis here. Read an academic paper by Dr. Perrin and I about public opinion polling (Note: you’ll need access to the journal, Annual Review of Sociology, to read this one.  If you’re on a college campus you can get it electronically through your library.) Follow Dr. Perrin on Twitter Read an editorial about social media and the public sphere.
