In this essay, I examine and problematize the myth of neutrality in America's art museums by examining the colonialist, patriarchal, and capitalist foundations of museums in American culture, framing contemporary examples of museum neutrality—or the social and political detachment of many museums from the communities and issues they claim to speak to—within these historical contexts. Referring to the works of museum educators, scholars, and activists, this essay seeks to build on the existing commentary about the positionality and purpose of museums in their communities, using protest as a means of analyzing institutional capacity for change. Drawing on a number of contemporary examples, including the ongoing Strike MoMA efforts, I engage an open-ended discussion of how museums might reimagine themselves as institutions unbound from the colonial, patriarchal and capitalist values on which so many were founded.

Broadcast media often provide forums for public expression, which may be useful for understanding public thought and emotion during times of public crisis. This exploratory study had two purposes. First, we examined broadcast content for support of Marx's notion that religion serves to reduce suffering during a time of public crisis. Given the important roles of affect and cognition in religious experience, the second goal was to examine how the public's affective and cognitive expressions in broadcasts differ in times of crisis. Public contributions to National Public Radio's (NPR) Talk of the Nation were examined for statements relating to religion, affect and cognition using linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) software. This longitudinal analysis included three, week-long periods in the years before, during and after 9/11. No differences were observed for expressions of religion among the three time periods. However, differences in negative affect and cognitive processing were observed.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki projektu badawczego, w którym zbadano wpływ czynników makrospołecznych na zainteresowanie opinii publicznej tematyką inwigilacji, ochrony danych i prywatności w Internecie w kontekście ujawnionych przez Edwarda Snowdena informacji o istnieniu globalnego programu masowej inwigilacji. Poziom zainteresowania opinii publicznej zbadano, ustalając liczbę wyszukiwań dla zapytań związanych z inwigilacją w wyszukiwarce Google w 116 krajach, w których następnie przeprowadzono analizy porównawcze. W artykule zostanie zweryfikowana hipoteza, że w krajach bardziej demokratycznych zainteresowanie opinii publicznej sprawami inwigilacji jest większe niż w pozostałych krajach. Przedstawimy także sposób, w jaki zaadaptowaliśmy dane Google na potrzeby projektu.

This article argues that lessons on how to achieve a sustainable financial system can be learnt from the work done on sustainable commons (on common‐pool resources –CPRs – where there is no 'tragedy of the commons'). Existing approaches to financial regulation may not give proper attention to available solutions. The article proposes that innovative solutions could be tested using experimental methods commonly used inCPRs: repeat run, feedback driven games.
