Does all that chatter on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook serve a useful purpose? I certainly hope so, since I’m on all of them (well, except Pinterest)! In another first for the podcast, this week I interview Dr. Andrew Perrin, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina and my mentor, about Habermas’s idea of the public sphere. Dr. Perrin explains the concept and talks about how he has applied it in his research on American Democracy, public opinion polling, and more.
