Description
What does the American public think about issues like immigration reform or the government's role in health care? Public opinion seems very confused if we expect people’s views to conform to standard liberal/conservative ideologies. Claudia Strauss, Professor of Anthropology at Pitzer College, and author of Making Sense of Public Opinion: American Discourses about Immigration and Social Programs (2012: Cambridge University Press) will discuss how her anthropological interviews show that people form opinions from a patchwork of conventional discourses that cross ideological lines.
