S01 E06: Once Politics Becomes Personal w/ Jessica Ronan

Host Kelly Nagle sits down with Eagleton Institute of Politics's Jessica Ronan.  In part two of our discussion about voting rights, the two political scientists (and former Rutgers University MA Program in Politics classmates) discuss their own experiences as voters, issues with equal access to the process, election integrity, and Jessica's work to mobilize youth voters in her role as Program Coordinator for the Center for Youth Political Participation.

Here’s the problem...the world is a mess; but a mediator and political scientist think they have figured out a way to change the current disheartening trajectory of our society. Motivated by a shared passion for creating a positive change in the world and empowering others to rise as leaders, Matthew DeSantis and Kelly Nagle founded the Teen Think Tank Project, with the vision of giving a future generation of change agents a voice in the world they will inherit. In order to facilitate the goals of the Teen Think Tank Project and engage both our students and our listeners in thought-provoking conversations, we’ve created this podcast. Each week, thought leaders and experts will join Kelly to explore a specific problem facing our society. We will rely on fact-based information, listen to understand and challenge our own ingrained perspectives. Because at Here’s the Problem Podcast we believe that this is the only way to chart a course towards cooperation, empathy and ultimately effective change.
