Description: Click to generate a vCalendar file to import into your off-line calendar Just two days after the presidential election, Daniel Kreiss will discuss
politics over pizza in ARH 302. The title of his talk is, “Networked
Politics from Howard Dean to Barack Obama and the 2012 Elections.” This
event is open to the public and all members of the Grinnell College
community. Dinner will be served.



Daniel Kreiss, assistant professor at the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Will
discuss, “the relationship between technological change and democratic
practice, showing how from Howard Dean to Barack Obama, new media have
provided campaigns with new ways to find and engage supporters, to run their
internal operations, and to translate the energy and enthusiasm generated by
candidates and political opportunities into the staple resources of American
electioneering.”



Kreiss recently published a book titled “Taking Our Country Back: The
Crafting of Networked Politics From Howard Dean to Barack Obama,” in which
he asks how technologies have impacted opportunities for participation in
electoral politics and civic affairs, whether or not new media technologies
shape or are shaped by the actors in the public sphere, and how forms of
social organization made possible by new media rework our understandings and
expectations of the state, law, and politics.
