State Capacity, Economic Crisis and Economic Reform: Implications for Sustainability Sustainability Seminar recorded on March 2, 2011, delivered by Georgetown University Professor George Shambaugh. Like the economic crises in Korea in 1997 and Argentina in 2001, U.S. and European responses to the 2008-2011 financial crises are less about what particular strategy is most likely to succeed or who specifically will be bailed out, than they are about the capacity of national governments to overhaul their economies and restore confidence in the global markets.

John Locke and His Philosophy
John Locke was an English philosopher and a part of the Enlightenment
movement. He thought a government should provide life, liberty and
private property to its citizens. This forty second video deals with Locke's feelings that government must protect and exist for the people. It is too short to be used except as an introduction to Locke's influence on the Founding Fathers.

USC sociologist Karen Sternheimer is the author of "Celebrity Culture and the American Dream: Stardom and Social Mobility," which examines the nature of fame during the Hollywood age -- from the time of the first celebrity fan magazines in 1911 to the present. Looking beyond the sensational and lurid headlines, Sternheimer examines how the stories that capture the country's attention often mirror what's happening in society with regard to class, gender, marriage and divorce, and race.

The objective of this study is threefold: (1) identify and examine privately owned public space versus publicly owned public space within the city of San Francisco, (2
This video highlights some of the main topics of my Senior Research Project regarding the sustainability of CSAs in San Diego County. I argue that CSAs should begin accepting food stamps for membership payment as a way of increasing accessibility.
