A Cure for Chronic Political Instability

Election reform might be the least of President Reuven Rivlin s worries right now I’ve often quipped to my colleagues that the bane of my professional existence is preparing a news column on a Monday that will still be relevant days later, when most readers sit down to peruse it in earnest, and for a news cycle that travels at warp speed. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, here we go again. By the time you read this, you will know who President Reuven Rivlin tasked with the mandate to form a coalition government. As I write this piece, the first political parties are still streaming into Rivlin’s Jerusalem residence, one at a time, to inform him of their pick for who should get first crack at breaking Israel’s two-year political impasse caused by four indecisive elections.

UW in the News | News | University of Wyoming

February 22, 2021 State, national and international media frequently feature the University of Wyoming and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage: USA Today interviewed Jonathan Naughton, director of UW’s Wind Energy Research Center, for an article on critics who blamed the renewable energy industry for blackouts caused by last week’s cold snap in Texas. Iced-over wind turbines in Texas are to be expected because they are not built to withstand freezing temperatures in that state, according to experts, including Naughton. The Casper Star-Tribune (CS-T) reported that the UW Board of Trustees voted to eliminate 11 academic programs amid a statewide budget crisis brought on by declining fossil fuel production and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Forbes, The Associated Press and The College Post published similar articles.

UW Assistant Professor Receives National Recognition for Research Article | News

February 17, 2021 Sandra Leotti A University of Wyoming assistant professor’s research article has received national recognition by the University of Chicago Press Journals. Sandra Leotti, in UW’s Division of Social Work, was awarded the 2021 Frank R. Breul Memorial Prize for her submission, titled “The Discursive Construction of Risk: Social Work Knowledge Production and Criminalized Women.” The prize is awarded annually for what is judged to be the best article published in Social Service Review in the preceding year. Leotti’s article examines how knowledge production within social work privileges a psychological discourse, relying on individual explanations for crime and criminalization above all other possible explanations specifically, that social work passively accepts the logic of punishment rather than challenging the inequitable social conditions that lead to mass incarceration.
