Political Geography and Distributive Politics in the 21st Century
PAIS 561 [36 Eagle Row, Atlanta, GA 30322] · PAIS 561 [36 Eagle Row, Atlanta, GA 30322]
Abstract: U.S. federal grants disproportionately flow to Democratic counties, and the correlation between partisanship and grants has been increasing over the last 40 years. In this paper, we document this phenomenon and explore its explanations and implications. Prior grants have become increasingly predictive of Democratic votes, but prior Democratic votes have not become increasingly predictive of grants. Furthermore, counties do not receive more grants as they become more Democratic, nor do they become more Democratic as they receive more grants. The most likely explanation for the increasing correlation between partisanship and grants is that highly educated places have always received more grants but they have become increasingly Democratic for other reasons. Although explicit partisan favoritism may not be the explanation, federal grants have become increasingly politicized and polarizing as Republican places decreasingly benefit from non-formula grants.

At Age 7, Sam Ramirez-Herrera left Mexico with her family in pursuit of the American Dream. Now a filmmaker, DACA recipient and advocate for undocumented immigrants in the U.S., Sam, like so many other “Dreamers,” finds herself caught between two nations—fully belonging to none. On the eve of Dia De Los Muertos, she is offered the opportunity to return to Mexico after 30 years away. Leaving the U.S. for the first time, Sam embarks on a journey to reconnect with her past and convene with her Mexican family, both living and dead. As her trip stirs traumas on both sides of the border, her homecoming reveals to her the great cost of her decades old crossing and upends her conception of the American Dream she's spent her life fighting to achieve. Against the vibrant visual backdrop of Mexico's Day Of The Dead, El Regreso explores rebirth through the lens of one dreamer’s awakening. Q & A to follow with Samantha Ramirez-Herrera, Director of El Regreso and moderator David Barba, Associate Professor, Emory University Film & Media.

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: He Got Game

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: He Got Game November 4 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208 1998 | Run Time: 136 min. | 35mm Directed by Spike Lee Introduced by Dr. Samantha Sheppard (Cornell University) If you’ve ever watched New York professional basketball or witnessed the 2026 championship Knicks play, you’ve seen Spike Lee live and in color. Lee is an avid basketball fan and has floor seats for all Knicks home games. He is also the director of many commercials that illuminate the sport like Chic H.I.S., the Continental Basketball Association, and those that kicked off the relationship between Michael Jordan and Nike. Lee’s love and knowledge of basketball make his 1998 film He Got Game aesthetically beautiful and contemplative. A fascinating look into one of America’s favorite past times, the story deals with big-time college recruiting processes, the money and politics involved in sports, and one outstanding Black young man basketball player. The film is lensed by Malik Hassan Sayeed, the same cinematographer for Lee’s Clockers and Girl 6, and features real-life college and professional basketball personnel like coaches Lute Olsen of Arizona and Georgetown’s John Thompson and players Shaquille O’Neal, Bill Walton, and Reggie Miller. Says critic Roger Ebert, “Lee uses visual imagination to lift his material into the realms of hopes and dreams.” And connecting the art to commerce, film scholar Samantha Sheppard links He Got Game to Lee’s later digital work within NBA 2K16—Livin’ Da Dream—the digital and film all wrapped up and sold in one. The main protagonist is real life former NBA player Ray Allen and as his father, Denzel Washington. It also features Rosario Dawson, Milla Jovovich, Zelda Harris, and Hill Harper. The film will be introduced by film professor Samantha N. Sheppard of Cornell University whose new book The Basketball Film comes out in November.

CMBC LECTURE | Talia Dan-Cohen "The Limits of Complexity"
"The Limits of Complexity" Over the past few decades, reduction and simplification have become conspicuous villains in certain corners of the humanities and humanistic social sciences. They have been attributed primary responsibility for failed modernist schemes, environmental degradation, and a vast array of social ills. Meanwhile, complexity—the term most often opposed to both reduction and simplification—has gained broad purchase as both a description of how things really are, and as an epistemic virtue. Since simplicity is bad and sometimes violent, complexity is ipso facto a good thing. In this talk, I examine some different sites and discourses in which complexity has played an important role over the past century. I show that the ubiquity of “complexity” has been underwritten by vastly different—and sometimes conflicting—projects. In so doing, I give a counterintuitive account of how “complexity” got to be everywhere.

CMBC LECTURE | Robert Wilson "The Role of Information and Randomization in Exploration and Exploitation"
White Hall 112 · White Hall 112
"The Role of Information and Randomization in Exploration and Exploitation" Many decisions involve a trade-off between exploring unknown options for information and exploiting known options for a more certain payoff. In this talk I will present evidence that people use two strategies to solve these explore-exploit dilemmas: directed exploration, driven by information, and random exploitation, driven by noise. These two strategies appear to rely on dissociable cognitive and neural processes, but I will show that they can arise from a single model based on mental simulation. This model accounts for the effects of uncertainty, time horizon, and the informativeness of feedback on directed and random exploitation as well as more recent findings suggesting that random exploitation is truly random. I will end with a discussion of our future work where we aim to study explore-exploit decisions in the real world.

Rothschild Lecture: "Refuseniks and Rights-Defenders: Jews and the Soviet Dissident Movement"
Ackerman Hall, Carlos Museum · Ackerman Hall, Carlos Museum
The exodus of Jews from the former Soviet Union transformed the Jewish landscape on three continents and has been called the preeminent case of Jewish human rights activism. It is often identified – and confused – with the Soviet dissident movement and the struggle for rights in Russia. In this lecture, Prof. Nathans will explore what brought the two movements together – and what kept them apart?

The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Summer of Sam
White Hall 208 | 301 Dowman Dr · White Hall 208 | 301 Dowman Dr
The Emory Cinematheque Presents: Summer of Sam November 11 at 7:30 p.m. in White Hall 208 1999 | Run Time: 142 min. | 35mm Directed by Spike Lee Introduced by Dr. Racquel Gates (Columbia University) Released in 1999, Spike Lee’s Summer of Sam is based on the 1977 killing spree of David Berkowitz, known as the Son of Sam. It fuses that year’s heatwave, Bronx, New York energy, sex, and disco with the fear of a serial killer. It’s Lee’s first film not about Black communities. Mike Imperioli (of The Sopranos fame), Victor Colicchio, and Lee wrote Summer of Sam. Actor and star Roger Guenveur Smith talks about the making of the film. “’Summer of Sam’ was shot almost entirely in the Country Club section of the Bronx where the first of the murders took place. ‘You could feel it among the people on the street who had actually lived through this summer and lost people to that man. On one level it's a movie; it's make-believe. But for some of the people in that community, it was a very real experience. It's difficult material and that's what makes for good drama.’” The parents of the young people killed by Berkowitz protested the making of the film with many feeling like the “portrayal of the Italian-American neighborhood focused on a sub-culture of the lowest form, teaming with criminal elements” (John Dabbene, Italian Voice). Film philosophy scholar Dan Flory believes Summer of Sam functions thematically as a film noir about racial lynching. He writes, “Lee uses themes of confinement and determinism as in other noirs.” While film critic Keith Boseman calls the film “potent and occasionally electrifying. It is almost always riveting” (Hyde Park Citizen). Summer of Sam stars John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, Mira Sorvino, and Roger Guenveur Smith. Film scholar Racquel Gates of Columbia University will introduce the film and lead the Q & A.

CMBC BOOK LAUNCH | Antonis Iliopoulos "Early Body Ornaments and the Origins of Our Semiotic Mind"
Early Body Ornaments and the Origins of Our Semiotic Mind What can the origins of self-adornment tell us about the evolution of the human mind? Were humans making ornaments more than 70,000 years ago in order to express ideas and ideals that they already had, or was ornament-making a process that drove the evolution of symbolic concepts and aesthetic values in the first place? Instead of seeing artifacts as the epiphenomenal products of processes that take place strictly within the braincase, Iliopoulos argues that objects can play an active role in shaping human cognition and that they provide the scaffolding on which a mind like ours could evolve. In making this proposal, his book draws inspiration from various disciplines including archaeology, anthropology, philosophy, and semiotics. The framework that results from his interdisciplinary approach allows him to address both the nature and the emergence of our unique capacity to use material signs. Early body ornaments thus become a test case for how things participate in meaning-making. Professors Blakely, Stout, and Stuhr will respond, from Emory’s Classics, Anthropology, and Philosophy departments, respectively.

JWJI Colloquium featuring Periloux Peay (University of Maryland, College Park)
Talk Title: “Riptides: How the Spread of Racial Policies Fuels Volatility in American States" Drawing on his book, "Riptides: How the Spread of Racial Policies Fuels Volatility in American States," Periloux Peay examines how racial policies spread across the United States and shape the nation’s political landscape. Introducing the “Three Cs” framework, he explores how competition, policy culture, and state influence drive both progressive and regressive racial policymaking. By tracing the diffusion of these policies since the Civil Rights Movement, Peay offers a new perspective on how states shape, reinforce, and transform racial inequality over time.
