News & Announcements

Closing of the Republican Mind

Description: NJ Spotlight published an op-ed written by Eagleton Professor Saladin Ambar. "The truth is, the American mind isn’t closed, but the right side of the brain has very much gone into a state of somnambulance...With the Senate’s failure to convict, we are left with personalist leadership on the right side of our politics."

The Hill: Let’s Rethink Top-down Decision-making for Evolving National Emergencies

The Hill published an op-ed written by John J. Farmer, Jr., Eagleton director. "[U]nderlying the government’s pandemic response is a failed planning process that has compromised the emergency responses of prior administrations of both parties. Consider the following disaster responses: 9/11. Katrina. COVID-19. The storming of the Capitol."

Civic education is the best way to prevent the next attack on American democracy

The Star-Ledger published an op-ed written by Dr. Elizabeth C. Matto, Eagleton associate research professor and CYPP director. "The slow-building spectacle that erupted on Jan. 6 has a deeper cause though - the absence of a shared understanding of American democracy. And the only way to address this gap is through an investment in civic education," wrote Matto.
