Anita Manion, assistant professor of political science, lent her expertise to KSDK during election season. She weighed in on how long official vote counts could take and what a decisive Electoral College win would mean for the transition of power. Manion also provided analysis of election results on St. Louis Public Radio.
St. Louis Magazine spoke with Todd Swanstrom, E. Desmond Lee Endowed Professor in Community Collaboration and Public Policy, about what St. Louis could do to move forward. Swanstrom believes there’s room for more cooperation between the city and the county with economic development in mind. He pointed to the museum-zoo district as a successful example of cooperation.
St. Louis Public Radio covered the relaunch of the St. Louis Coro Fellows Program. It is designed to boost racial equity at local public service organizations, government entities, nonprofits and businesses through community-based leadership training. In August, 12 fellows will begin working for nine months with various organizations on projects of interest. Paul Sorenson, interim director of UMSL’s Community Innovation and Action Center, said the fellows will help local businesses and organizations build civic engagement and expose the young professionals to challenges the region faces along the racial equity lines.
