    An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
 
 
 
Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.

    Anthropology - Understanding...

    Anthropology is the holistic study of humanity, examining human origins, cultural development, social structures, language, and biological evolution. It seeks to understand what it means to be human by analyzing the past, studying present societies, and considering future changes. Unlike other disciplines that focus on a single aspect of human life, anthropology integrates multiple perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of human existence. 
The field of anthropology is traditionally divided into four main branches: biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Biological anthropology focuses on human evolution, genetics, and physical adaptation, comparing humans to primates and studying fossil records to understand the biological roots of our species. Cultural anthropology examines the customs, beliefs, and social institutions of different societies, exploring how culture shapes human behavior and interactions. Linguistic anthropology investigates the role of language in human communication, social identity, and cultural transmission. Archaeology studies past human civilizations through the excavation and analysis of artifacts, structures, and environmental data, providing insight into how societies developed over time. 
A key principle of anthropology is cultural relativism, which emphasizes understanding cultures within their own context rather than judging them by external standards. This contrasts with ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture is superior to others. By adopting cultural relativism, anthropologists aim to promote a deeper appreciation for human diversity and challenge stereotypes and biases. Fieldwork, often involving ethnographic research, is a fundamental method in anthropology.

    The Subjection of Women

    "The Subjection of Women" is an essay written by John Stuart Mill in 1869. The essay is a critique of the social and legal status of women in Victorian England and argues for gender equality. Mill argues that the subjugation of women is not only morally wrong but also results in negative consequences for both men and women. 
In the essay, Mill examines the various ways in which women are subjugated, including their lack of legal rights, their exclusion from education and professional opportunities, and their relegation to the domestic sphere. He argues that these societal restrictions prevent women from fulfilling their potential and living full, autonomous lives. 
Mill also argues that the subjugation of women is not a natural or inevitable state of affairs but is instead a result of historical and cultural factors. He contends that by removing legal and social barriers to gender equality, society can create a more just and harmonious social order. 
"The Subjection of Women" was a groundbreaking work in its time and helped to lay the groundwork for the feminist movement. Mill's arguments continue to be influential to this day, and the essay remains a key text in the history of feminist thought.
