from The Social Breakdown· ·

It's election season! So, we've got a rerelease for you all of an episode from May 2020 about politics, politics, politics! This week we’re going to explore politics using a Symbolic Interactionist lens and the fantastic work of Dr. Murray Edelman to make sense of what’s going on in our state and federal governments every day. Is politics an earnest attempt at changing our society for the good? Is it just a spectacle meant to distract us? Or maybe somewhere in between? Tune in here to learn more, VOTE, and stay healthy out there!
