In the final week of our summer series, we question how we as a society determine what is true and what is not.

In week nine, we continue our conversation around immigration. This week, we look at “push” migration in which something negative – war, extreme poverty – “pushes” migrants away from their homes and toward new places of residence.

Diplomats, policymakers, and other experts generally think of international migration as taking two forms: pull and push. This week, we look at “Pull” migration, which is something positive, such as family or greater economic opportunity.

In week seven of our series, and to help us observe July 4th, we have a video of Yale History Professor Joanne Freeman leading some of her colleagues and students in a reading of our Declaration of Independence.

Inflation: What is it? Why does it matter? How can it be addressed? These are just a few of the questions addressed in week six of our series focusing on issues facing America this summer.

In our fifth week, we look at the filibuster: its history, paths for reform, and the potential effects of proposed changes.

In week four of our series about issues facing America this summer, we examine whether or not the January 6 insurrection will ever be fully and independently investigated, similar to the 9/11 attacks.

We continue our new series with issues surrounding statehood for Puerto Rico in light of the recent, but nonbinding, referendum favoring statehood.

The second week of our series looks at statehood for Washington DC, examining both the arguments for and against giving our nation’s capitol statehood.

As we begin our fifth series on American Democracy, we turn to content focused on issues of public policy facing America. Our first week looks at the issue of Voting Rights, and more specifically, the For the People Act.
