Welcome Back!!! This is the first episode of season three (3) of POP. This episode emphasizes, yet again, that ALL politics are local. We are joined by, Dr. Tammy Greer, disguised professor of Political Science to discuss State & Local Politics of Georgia and Black Politics, in addition to providing context behind which Atlanta is falsely regarded as being the "Black Mecca" of the south. She also highlights the importance and affects of municipal elected officials on every day life. Because of the impact elected officials have on everyday life, as well as democracy being a DO, it is important to mention that the city of Atlanta has municipal elections upcoming in November 2021.  Be certain to check your voting status at www.sos.ga.gov and be prepared to vote.         *** WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC**

Georgia On My Mind

PAN-AFRICANISM, the liberation of ALL black people. Dr. Kurt B. Young, joins us as we unpack political science, and more so, political science through a Pan-African lens.  We begin our discussion by providing some context to political science and the dearth of political scientist in political spaces. While providing context, Dr. Young notes that political science does not necessarily study politics. He states that political science is "a scientific study of Political Phenomenon". Additionally, he explains the reservations that media outlets have to include political scientist in the political discourse, because a well trained political scientist asks the critical questions.    We then transition to unpacking the relevancy of Pan-Africanism historically and contemporary. We are all grappling with the current social and political issues here in the U.S., but these issues are not unique to us in the diaspora... our brothers and sisters on the continent are also facing similar issues. We are challenged with pushing ourselves to keep fighting for the "true" liberation of all people of African decent.    www.kbyoung.com 

The Relevance of Political Science Through a Pan-African Lens

After a much needed break, we are back with an introductory discussion about the nexus between public administration and political science.  In this episode we lay the foundation, and offer context to a two-part discussion. Dr. Ron Finnell, clearly defines Public Administration and draws connections between public policy and administrative discretion. This episode also covers the relevancy of qualified immunity and organizational culture when examining policing matters.  We will dig deeper in the following episode and hone in on the close relationship between Public Administration and Political Science. Stay tuned for part 2. 

A Conversation on Politics, Public Policy, and Administrative Discretion (Part 1)

Furthermore,  Dr. Jennings, gives a historical, yet chronological explanation of a series of movements throughout the U.S. and its influences on a global platform.  Contact for Dr. Jennings: @drKeithJennings on Twitter   Disclaimer *** We do not own the rights to the music played during this podcast.

Reflections on Black Social Justice Movements

This episode, we invited a special guest to bring an interdisciplinary approach to how we look at the pandemic and its outcomes. Natural science research has become somewhat political and as scholars and practitioners of our respective disciplines, it's important that we include numerous perspectives on various topics.  Thus, we have invited a Ph.D. student of Evolutionary Biology to offer insight on COVID, Viruses, and Vaccinations from his field of study. 

The Intersection Between Evolutionary Biology, Pandemics, and Politics

How y’all holding up? We have been quarantined for about 6 weeks now and we know many of you all are dealing with cabin fever... like us.  In addition to being locked down we are constantly being bombarded with bad news.

PorP Intro. 2.0

Introduction to Politics OR Politiking from Jayme and Sabah! Welcome Y'all!!

Politics and Politiking Introduction

Politics or Politiking is a podcast that no definition can accurately describe! PorP is limitless in the topics it will address, it will include conversations around religion, spirituality, politics, life, and academia. We are just a couple of Ph.D. students interested in politics and the like, and wanted to deliver it in a way that everyone understands. We want this to be geared toward making things simple and interesting to everyone, and to encourage those to become more involved and aware of what's going on in the world. We are also adamant about pulling apart politics and explaining how it is deeply rooted throughout our lives and beyond. We hope to be critical, analytical, present facts, and discuss possible solutions that extend beyond the formulation stage and progress towards the implementation stage!! This is a podcast to invoke collective solutions for collective problems.
