The Institute will be participating in Rutgers Giving Days on Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st to support the Rutgers-Eagleton Washington Internship Award program and the Eagleton Graduate Fellowship in Politics and Government.

Your generous gifts make it possible for Eagleton to offer creative, enriching learning opportunities to Rutgers students as they prepare for public leadership careers that will shape the future of democracy.

Eagleton Director, Dr. Elizabeth Matto, and Dr. Katherine McCabe, Department of Political Science, are hosting a teaching workshop, Encouraging Dialogue and Exploring Different Perspectives in Classrooms of All Disciplines, for Rutgers University instructors (faculty, part-time lecturers, graduate teaching assistants).

Participants from all disciplines will explore the benefits and challenges that both students and instructors face when incorporating vibrant discussion into the classroom, learn and practice various evidence-based pedagogical approaches, and envision how they might implement strategies for talking across difference into their own courses with confidence. Lunch will be served for all participants.

Space is limited; Register today for one of the two upcoming sessions:

• Thursday, March 28th | 12:00-2:00PM | Eagleton Institute of Politics (Douglass campus)
• Monday, April 15th | 12:00-2:00PM | Alexander Library's JetStream, Room 404 (College Avenue campus)

The Center for American Women and Politics launched the Women, Money, & Politics Watch 2024 report on gender implications in campaign finance, from donor and recipient perspectives, throughout the 2024 election season. This is the first Women, Money, and Politics Series project to analyze gender and fundraising during a live election cycle. 

 The State View: A Deep Dive into 10 States, introduces 10 key focus states and provides campaign finance data on fundraising recipients in congressional races in those states. Over the next several months, CAWP will share additional reports on donor demographics in the key focus states, fundraising recipient data for some of the key states, an expansion of recipient data on congressional races in all 50 states, fundraising recipient data in state-level elections in remaining key states, as well as donor gap data in congressional races in all 50 states.

Thursday, April 18th | 6:00PM | Zoom Inc.

Join Eagleton as it explores the changing roles of political parties and the implications for democracy in the context of William Fernekes' new book, Clifford Case and the Challenges of Liberal Republicanism.

The Hill: Britt backlash stokes GOP fears about losing women voters

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Progressives who transformed Pennsylvania politics are set to be a decisive force in 2024

“We saw the downfall in 2016 for [Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham] Clinton of counting on voters who did not show up on Election Day because they were turned off by her candidacy. That could very well happen again."-Dr. Ashley Koning, Director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling

AL.com: IVF politics loom as Sen. Kate Britt gears up for State of the Union Address

“Historically, rebuttals are used to amplify the contrast between the current administration’s agenda and actions and those of the rebutting party...In that vein, I am not sure that Britt or the Republican Party will feel compelled to speak specifically to the state Supreme Court ruling.”-Dr. Kelly Dittmar, Director of Research at CAWP
