Bite-Size Policy: Referenda
Today, we introduce our newest mini-series: Bite-Size Policy.<br /><br />Bite-Size Policy is a collaboration with the Paul Douglas Institute, where researchers from this student-run think tank at the University of Chicago present their research in a way that enables our viewers to know the issues and what they can do about it. <br /><br />In this episode, Jacob Leppek (MSCAPP '21) spoke with researchers Rory Gates (BA '22) and Jack Votava (BA '21) to discuss their recent paper on referenda. This paper examines referendum data from Illinois since 1980 on topics like criminal justice, government structure, and tax policy. They find that Presidential elections and higher voter turnout both significantly negatively impact pro-referendum vote share, and that the passage rate of each referenda varies significantly with policy topic area. During low turnout elections, referenda are much less likely to pass.<br /><br />Podcast Production Credits:<br /><br />Jacob Leppek, interviewing<br />Miranda Zhang, editing<br />Joana Lepuri, engineering and producing<br />Sowmya Karun, production assistance<br /><br />Links:<br /><br />PDI home page: <a href="https://www.pauldouglasinstitute.org" rel="noopener">https://www.pauldouglasinstitute.org</a><br />Referenda paper page: <a href="https://www.pauldouglasinstitute.org/Publications/Assessing-the-Illinois-Referendum-as-a-Tool-for-Democracy" rel="noopener">https://www.pauldouglasinstitute.org/Publications/Assessing-the-Illinois-Referendum-as-a-Tool-for-Democracy</a>

Halfway Normal: Rebuilding in the Wake of Hurricane Harvey
In August 2017, Beth Karp (JD/MPP '20) drove from Chicago to Houston with no connections and no plan to try to help out with relief work in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. <br /><br />What could have been a pretty dumb and fruitless experiment turned into something amazing: an opportunity to jump into action with grassroots organizations that sprang up out of nowhere within days to distribute thousands of meals, chauffeur evacuees to medical appointments, muck out flooded homes, and much more. Social media helped make it possible. Apps like Facebook, Zello, Google Voice, and Uber have changed the landscape of disaster relief, facilitating coordination among volunteers and connecting people more quickly to rescue and resources.
