- Policy at the Playhouse“All art is political in the sense that it serves someone’s politics.” – August Wilson Theatre can bolster the status quo. It can foment revolution. It can make us question our identities and the identities of those around us. It makes us yearn and strive. It gives us closure. It leaves us wanting more. Theatre is a weapon. It holds up a mirror. It is politics. Theatre dissolves the distance between people. Theatre exposes humanity and inhumanity. Theatre connects us. The Policy at the Playhouse podcast features conversations about how art, theater in particular, is an integral part of our civic lives allowing us to question and inform our conceptions of citizenship and community. This podcast continues our ongoing efforts to bring policy and its impact into the public discourse, recognizing that citizens inform themselves in many different arenas.

Third Annual Political Institutions and Political Economy (PIPE) Conference

Welcome to the third annual conference of the Political Institutions & Political Economy Collaborative

March 19-20, 2020

The Political Institutions and Political Economy (PIPE) Collaborative at the University of Southern California is a university-wide research endeavor jointly sponsored by the Price School’s Bedrosian Center and the Office of the Provost.

The PIPE Collaborative includes faculty and graduate students with common interests in various aspects of political institutions and political economy and is designed — through regular scholarly workshops and multiple symposia each year — to encourage research that crosses disciplinary boundaries. This cross-disciplinary collaboration is crucial, as political institutions and political economy are regularly studied topics in political science, economics, and law; thus, there are synergies to be had by ensuring there are regular forums to bring together scholars from different research traditions who may not ordinarily talk to one another.

The Third Annual Political Institutions and Political Economy (PIPE) Conference will bring together major U.S. scholars from political science, economics, and public policy for two days to cover important new research on topics such as minority representation in local government, the relationship between incarceration and enfranchisement, democratic backsliding in the states, access to justice in unequal societies, and the link between the subprime mortgage crisis and the Tea Party movement. In establishing and maintaining this annual conference tradition, the PIPE Collaborative will provide a regular, national forum for the study of political institutions and political economy, and establish USC as an academic leader in the research area.
