Behind every public policy, there is a curated narrative that compels policymakers and a subset of the public to support it. The presenter will draw on her years of experience as a communications director for progressive policy organizations and her 2021 research on how the so-called Great Tax Revolt of the 1970s sowed anti-government sentiment that persists today to highlight how narrative influences public perceptions and policy outcomes.

MPP Forum is a weekly event normally scheduled on Fridays during the academic year. It allows each MPP candidate to showcase their career journey and expertise on policy issue of their choice with the SPIA community. This formal presentation is about 50 minutes followed by 20-minute Q &A. 

The MPP Forum is supported by a bequest from mid-career alumnus Christopher Meyer (MCF '83-'84) who was an authority on copyright law in private practice, academia and government.
