SUMMARY:Campaigning Online: Web Display Ads in the 2012 Presidential Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Campaigning Online: Web Display Ads in the 2012 Presidential Campaign  \nDateJanuary 13\, 2014 \nTime4:00am to 5:30am \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nAlthough much of what we know about political advertising comes from the study of television advertising alone\, online advertising is an increasingly prominent part of political campaigning. Research on other online political communication—especially candidate websites\, blogs\, and social media—tends to conclude that these communications are primarily aimed at turning existing supporters into campaign donors\, activists\, and volunteers. Is a similar communication strategy found in online display ads—the ads seen adjacent to website content? We examine 840 unique online display ads from the 2012 presidential campaign to explore the nature\, content\, and targets of online display advertising. We show that the policy content\, tone\, ad location\, and interactive elements of the ads varied based on the audience\, with persuasive appeals aimed at undecided or persuadable voters and engagement appeals aimed at existing supporters. Comparing ad content across candidates also finds that each side focused on those issues for which the candidate had a strategic advantage. As a consequence\, we find little issue engagement in online advertising\, in contrast to the conclusions of previous research on television advertising. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Marschak Colloquium with Melissa Schwartzberg
DESCRIPTION:Marschak Colloquium with Melissa Schwartzberg \nDateJanuary 8\, 2015 \nTime3:00pm \nLocation\nYoung Research Library\, Conference Room 11360 \nContact\nContact Information\nlohmann@ucla.edu \nPresenter:Melissa Schwartzberg\, New York University PoliticsHost:Giulia Sissa\, UCLA Political Science & ClassicsTitle: “Counting the Many: The Origins and Limits of Supermajority Rule”Abstract:Supermajority rules govern many features of our lives in common: from the selection of textbooks for our children’s schools to residential covenants\, from the policy choices of state and federal legislatures to constitutional amendments. It is usually assumed that these rules are not only normatively unproblematic\, but necessary to achieve the goals of institutional stability\, consensus\, and minority protections. Professor Schwartzberg challenges the logic underlying the use of supermajority rule as an alternative to majority decision-making. She traces the hidden history of supermajority decision-making\, which originally emerged as an alternative to unanimity rule\, and highlights the tensions in the contemporary use of supermajority rules as an alternative to majority rule. Although supermajority rules ostensibly aim to reduce the purported risks associated with majority decision-making\, they do so at the cost of introducing new liabilities associated with the biased judgments they generate and secure.The Jacob Marschak Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Mathematics in the Behavioral  Sciences at UCLA. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:How I Learned to Embrace Anger and Love the Bomb
DESCRIPTION:How I Learned to Embrace Anger and Love the Bomb \nDateJanuary 8\, 2014 \nTime7:00am to 9:30am \nLocation\n11377 Bunche Hall \nContact \n Aggression constitutes an essential element in a great deal of violence. We seek to examine how dispositional aggression influences attitudes toward foreign policy. Secondarily\, we also provide some analysis that interrogates the etiology of aggression. Recent work has begun to examine whether the tendency to engage in physical aggression might have some roots in genetic traits. In combination with particular environmental variables\, certain heritable characteristics appear to predispose certain individuals to a higher risk of responding aggressively to threat. We present results which include an analysis for the effects of sex\, education\, and parental and partner bonding on aggression. In addition\, we undertake a sociological and genetic analysis of traits related to aggression in a large population of Australians\, and their examine effects on attitudes toward foreign policy and moral dilemmas. Integrating genetic and environmental factors to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effect of aggression on political attitudes and moral values uncovers new possibilities for interventions designed to ameliorate the effects of violence on society. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Evangelical Reform and the Origins of the Modern Constitutional Order
DESCRIPTION:Evangelical Reform and the Origins of the Modern Constitutional Order \nDateJanuary 6\, 2014 \nTime4:00am to 5:30am \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nIn twenty-first century America\, religion seems to go hand in hand with veneration of the Constitution and its framers. But during the nineteenth century\, deeply religious Americans were almost as likely to condemn the Constitution as to praise it. Why did early religious activists often express disdain for a constitutional inheritance that their twenty-first-century successors regard with awed reverence? The answer\, in short\, is that Americans living in the aftermath of the great religious revivals of the early nineteenth century came to regard as sinful many activities and forms of property – from liquor\, to lottery tickets\, to slavery – that the founding generation had tolerated\, or even actively promoted. In order to rid the nation of sinful forms of property\, evangelicals found it necessary to challenge some of the framers’ most basic constitutional principles\, from their expansive conception of property rights to their commitment to decentralized regulatory authority. Evangelical reform efforts thus helped facilitate the birth of a new constitutional order in which conceptions of property rights and state-federal relations are increasingly viewed as fluid\, socially constructed\, and subject to modification by democratic majorities. In short\, the “living Constitution” which modern-day social conservatives routinely disparage was in no small part the creation of an earlier generation of religious activists. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:
