Do politics make you want to sigh? Well, you're not alone. Here at Poli Sigh, we take a collective sigh, and breakdown the political frustrations of the world, bridging political science jargon to the issues and solutions that matter to you. Each episode we interview a political scientist to get their story, hear what they're researching, why you should care about it, and what you can do. It’s but one way of "poli trying" in trying political times. Check us out at www.polisighpodcast.org

    Pop Goes the Culture (feat. Dr. Lilly Goren)

    We zone out with Netflix, HBO, etc. to get away from politics, right? But where is the line between political and apolitical? To close off season 2, we hear from Professor Lilly Goren about the relationship between popular culture and politics. We cover examples across television, cinema, and literature to illuminate what political themes we often consume in our everyday lives without even realizing. We work through themes of nostalgia, gender construction, and “the anti-hero” to begin considering how we should treat popular media and its appropriate role in politics today.

    It’s election season! On this special episode of Poli Sigh, we talk with Courtney Nava about everything concerning the upcoming U.S. midterms. Coming from the perspective of American political behavior, we recap what voting behavior has looked like in the past, what we should expect later this month, and what the different possible outcomes indicate about larger U.S. politics.

    All in the Femily (feat. Dr. Michaele Ferguson)

    What does it mean to be a feminist? What does feminism look like in a post-Roe era? On this episode, we talk with Professor Michaele Ferguson about feminist politics. Spanning the suffrage movement to Gaga feminism, we breakdown what has changed and what themes have continued across feminism. Within the context of the Dobbs decision, we pinpoint instances in which current feminisms may fall short, and attempt to identify which ones may be better equipped to meet today’s challenges.

    C'mon Unity (feat. Dr. John Barry Ryan)

    Communication is as simple as talking, right?  This month we hear from Professor John Barry Ryan about polarization in the United States and its significance to communication and compromise in politics today. Specifically highlighting the issues of gun violence and climate change, we explain why Americans appear so far apart and how this often results in policy inaction. We discuss the nature of American democracy and its limits in order to sort out its potential to mitigate collective action problems.

    It's (Un)just a Game (feat. Dr. John Emery)

    Humanity today has the technological means to annihilate itself ten times over. How do we make sure that doesn’t end up happening? We sit with Professor John Emery to discuss just that! Covering his research on war ethics, we list the ways in which war has become simultaneously dehumanized and never-ending within the 21st century. Considering the United States’ conceptualization of “enemy”, its interventions across the Middle East, and a growingly belligerent and nuclear armed Russia, could “feelings” maybe hold the answer?

    Snap, Autocrackle, Prop (feat. Dr. Sarah Wilson Sokhey)

    It’s been over 4 months since Russia invaded and initiated war against Ukraine. How much longer will it last? To kick-off Season 2, we hear from Eastern European Politics scholar, Sarah Wilson Sokhey. Outlining Russian politics and citizenship, we discuss just how immune the Russian state is from public opinion. By examining past protest within Russia, we breakdown current public opinion in Russia and explore its potential to force an end to the war.

    "Sus"tainable Solutions (feat. Dr. Christina Boyes)

    What does it mean to meaningfully produce environmental policy? On this episode, we chat with Professor Christina Boyes about why we should take a more holistic approach, considering both the human and non-human. Looking specifically at natural resources, we discuss where environmental technology might fall short both ecologically and along lines of social justice, pinpointing some non-obvious consequences that accompany greenwashing today.

    Social Mediacracy (feat. Dr. Jennifer Forestal)

    Are digital technologies and social media relevant to politics? It’s not so much a question of “if” but “how”…. This month we talk with Professor Jennifer Forestal about how the digital world can both support and hurt democracy. Looking at the way platforms are structured and monitored, we discuss ways that social media can build meaningful communities instead of atomized ones, what’s required of democratic citizenship in the 21st century, and how digital technologies might just be a boogeyman that overshadows bigger political issues.
