Myths and puzzles in Americans' Attitudes toward taxes


Tue, 02/16/2010 - 7:00pm

NH Institute of Politics, Manchester
Feb. 16, 7 p.m.: Myths and Puzzles in Americans' Attitudes Toward Taxes

Andrea Louise Campbell, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will give a lecture titled Myths and Puzzles in Americans' Attitudes Toward Taxes. This lecture explores public opinion over time - as well as political rhetoric about taxes - to reveal the considerable variation in how people feel about taxes and how those attitudes are influenced by politicians themselves.

Campbell studies American politics, political behavior, public opinion, political inequality and social policy. Her interests reside in the interplay between political institutions, such as public policies and federal systems, and the political behavior and attitudes of mass publics.

WTP Movie--Food Inc.


Sat, 02/27/2010 - 7:00pm

Christ Church, Exeter, NH
Filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on America's food industry. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful
bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
