Title:  

Creative Economy in Southern Illinois: Opportunities for Reshaping Carbondale and SIU

 
 Volume/Number:  2014 October 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Since the 2002 release of Richard Floridas seminal book, The Rise of the Creative Class, a considerable amount of the regional and local development discussion has focused on his concept of attracting and retaining the creative class as a vehicle of economic growth. Floridas (2002) work centers on the premise that contemporary development is not a process of attracting large employers but attracting talented people to an area; it is a process of jobs following people, not people following jobs. Although Florida has a primarily urban focus (Peck, 2005), with more than 59 million or 19.3 percent of the American people living in rural areas, including nearly 12 percent of Illinoisans (U.S. Census Bureau, 2013), ignoring the impact of rural artists and creative activities comes at the detriment of local, state and national economic progress. With Florida in mind as an avenue to increasing economic activity in the region, the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute convened a day-long conference held at the Carbondale Civic Center April 29, 2014. As part of the conference the information contained in this paper was presented by Kent Dolezal, Lindsay Knaus and Nichole Sack. This papers purpose is to summarizes the concepts in those remarks and disseminate the information to a wider audience.

2014 Illinois Governor Race: Quinn vs Rauner

 
 Volume/Number:  2015 January 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The 2014 Governors race in Illinois featured two candidates who are the epitome of campaigns for high office in America today. In addition, the race also illustrated the major trends, driven by big money and big media, which are shaping our politics in the 21st century. This paper examines and analyzes the governors race in order to learn what it teaches us about politics in Illinois, and in the United States midway through the second decade of this century.

Title:  

Disaster and Gender in Southern Illinois

 
 Volume/Number:  2015 February 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The unique needs of women in the context of disaster have been largely overlooked in disaster management. For this reason, women have been hard-hit by natural disasters in the United States and internationally. However, by learning from the mistakes of the past, the negative effects of disasters on women may be mitigated through disaster management that is sensitive to the different needs and experiences of women and men.

Unsupervised, Ensnared, Relational, and Private: A Typology of Illinois Corrupt Women

 
 Volume/Number:  2015 June 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Scholars, pundits, and citizens know Illinois is at the forefront of corruption, as reported in the popular fact that four out of the last eight governors of Illinois have spent time in federal prison. We chalk up corruption to officials misusing their public role for their own private good. However, when we talk about corruption, even when we use inclusive language, we see the actor as a man, as corruption occurring in old-boys networks, and in dark and hidden backrooms of Springfield and Chicago, full of kickbacks and cigar smoke. What is missing from that analysis is an examination of the types of corruption that occur when we look at women in public positions and the corrupt acts they engage in. Illinois also ranks highly on several factors that measure the number of women in political positions of power (Center for American Women and Politics 2015), and so the question is raised: what is the role of women when it comes to corruption?

Climate of Opinion in Illinois 2008- 2016: Roots of Gridlock

 
 Volume/Number:  2016 June 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Since January 1, 2015, Illinois has been frozen in a governmental and political gridlock that has dominated the states political discourse, consumed the energies of all involved, and created chaos in governmental and non-profit agencies that normally deliver state services. It has also created untold hardship and suffering among those who are most dependent on state services. The conflict has especially threatened to drastically reduce the quality and missions of the institutions of public higher education in Illinois, a state system that was widely recognized as one of the best in the nation and the world.
