The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University seeks to promote a just and peaceful world through research, teaching, and public engagement. To that end we produce a diverse range of podcasts featuring faculty, students, and members of the Watson community. With topics ranging from international finance to domestic politics to surprising personal histories, our podcasts aim to share with as wide an audience as possible the research, conversations, and stories that come out of Watson every day.
Mark Blyth, political economist at Brown's Watson Institute, and Carrie Nordlund, political scientist and associate director of Brown's Annenberg Institute, share their take on the week's news.
