In East Africa, CSOs face several challenges, ranging from a shrinking civic space, to increasingly disengaged populations to shrinking funding. CSO programming has also been ineffective in many cases leading to wasted resources, poor feedback loops and sub-par outcomes. This talk draws on practical experience working with CSOs in the region to unpack the behavioral barriers that limit civic participation as well as effective CSO programming. It explores how behavioral science has been applied through experimentation, co-design and communications to redesign engagement strategies, influence policy, improve public service delivery and improve government responsiveness to citizens\u0027 voices.

Sumner, associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, for a discussion on how the rise of e-commerce is reshaping local governance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EAbstract\u003C\/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe internet has fundamentally changed small businesses in the United States. Social media and e-commerce platforms have enabled new business models, many of which can be operated from home offices and basements. Entrepreneurs are less dependent on brick-and-mortar presences than ever. We argue that this shift has dramatic effects on small business owners\u2019 political behaviors and identity. The small-business-owner-as-civic-leader archetype that features so heavily in American civic and political life is not inherent to entrepreneurial activity, but is rather the product of interactions that are specific to brick-and-mortar businesses, especially when co-located with other brick-and-mortar businesses. Brick-and-mortarness, we argue, exposes business owners to a plethora of routine interactions with the government (via parking, construction, building permits, etc.) that catalyzes (sometimes collective) political actions. These mundane political actions teach small business owners how local politics works, but also socialize them to see themselves as political beings, with long term and broad impacts on how they relate to local politics and civic life. We test this using data from a statewide survey on Minnesota small business owners and through a new dataset of small business owners\u2019 participation in the January 23, 2026 anti-ICE strike in Minnesota. We find consistent support for our theory. An implication of this is that the technological innovations of the \u0026nbsp;internet suppresses the political socialization of business owners into individual and collective political actors.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPlease join us for a discussion on how e-commerce undermines local politics.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Please join us for a discussion on how e-commerce undermines local politics."}],"uid":"36009","created_gmt":"2026-04-14 19:46:42","changed_gmt":"2026-04-14 19:52:04","author":"cwhittle9","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-28T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-28T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-28 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-28 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Habersham Building, Room G17","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EEric Koob\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:ekoob3@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eekoob3@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"689595":{"#nid":"689595","#data":{"type":"event","title":"Voice+ Speaker Series: Mathilde Piard","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAs NPR\u2019s Deputy Director for Podcast Strategy \u0026amp; Operations, Mathilde Piard leads a team tasked with helping NPR\u0027s portfolio of podcasts thrive editorially, audience-wise, and business-wise.
