SUMMARY:American Politics Workshop: Professor G. Agustin Markarian (Loyola University Chicago)\, TBD
UID:644744@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Please join the American Politics Workshop as they host G. Agustin Markarian\, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Loyola University Chicago. Presentation title and abstract forthcoming.  G. Agustin Markarian is an assistant professor of Political Science at Loyola University Chicago. Markarian studies the politics of violence\, representation\, and participation in the United States\, with a focus on racial\, ethnic\, and class-based inequalities. Across his work\, Markarian asks three central questions: Who does the state protect from harm? Whose voices and preferences shape public policy? And\, how does exposure to crime and violence shape political behavior and attitudes?  Markarian's book project\, Racial Boundaries of Protection\, examines how race influences elite and public responses to gun violence. Drawing on state-level policy data\, novel legislator ideology scores\, millions of social-media posts from political elites\, and large survey and election datasets\, Markarian shows that state governments in the US are far more likely to enact restrictive gun laws when mass-shooting victims are White than when victims are racial and ethnic minorities—revealing stark disparities in whose lives the state treats as worthy of protection.\n\nRegister: https://northwestern.zoom.us/meeting/register/jZMcXSBpRJK1CNssSr9xqQ
