The System Meets the Neighborhood: From Structural Inequality to Neighborhood Change

Register

This Community Roundtable is the first of a series intended to open new dialogue and build upon existing efforts toward action that are defined and developed in collaboration with communities.

The initial session will create a repository of community-generated strategies that will frame future sessions in the series. It will be hosted and moderated by We the People Stage (https://www.wethepeoplestage.com), a community platform that engages diverse communities by connecting community members, influencers, and key stakeholders through dynamic virtual and traditional events.

Penn faculty, including Penn Futures representation from School of Nursing, Graduate School of Education and School of Social Policy and Practice, and community leaders have been invited to engage in the Roundtable conversation. We also will be inviting representatives from Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, City offices, and Penn who will interact with Roundtable participants in a Question-Answer format.

Co-sponsored by Penn GSE, Penn Nursing, Penn Social Policy and Practice, Campaign for Community, and Stavros Niarchos Foundation Paideia Program

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
