Salena Zito, a national political reporter, will deliver a public lecture at Washington and Lee University on Monday, November 12, at 5:30 p.m. in Northen Auditorium. She will speak on the electoral shift that supported Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 and reflect upon the midterm elections. Her talk is part of the University’s “Conversations in the Age of Trump” series.
Zito is the co-author of “The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics.” “While much has been written at the macro-level about the 2016 election and the rise of populism around the world, Zito and her co-author Brad Todd draw upon a rich trove of survey data that demonstrates the many diverse aspects of the 2016 vote,” said Mark Rush, Waxberg Professor of Politics and Law.
Zito is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and worked for The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review for eleven years. In 2016, she joined the New York Post. She presently acts as an analyst for CNN and a staff reporter and columnist for the Washington Examiner. “This is an exciting opportunity to hear on-the-ground accounts of why voters changed their minds in 2016 and to ponder what changes will occur in upcoming presidential elections.&nbsp;
Insofar as Zito will visit just after the 2018 election, her talk will offer a timely reflection on whether this midterm follows or departs from the typical pattern of rejecting the party of the president in power,” said Rush. While on campus, Zito will also participate in a lunch colloquium with a small group of students and faculty.

Deaton was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He attended Hawick High School and then Fettes College as a foundation scholar, working at Portmeirion hotel in the summer of 1964. He earned his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Cambridge, the last with a 1975 thesis entitled Models of Consumer Demand and Their Application to the United Kingdom under the supervision of Richard Stone. At Cambridge, he was later a fellow at Fitzwilliam College and a research officer working with Richard Stone and Terry Barker in the Department of Applied Economics.
In 1976 Deaton took up a post at the University of Bristol as a Professor of Econometrics. During this period, he completed a significant portion of his most influential work. In 1978, he became the first-ever recipient of the Frisch Medal, an award given by the Econometric Society every two years to an applied paper published within the past five years in Econometrica. In 1980, his paper on how demand for various consumption goods depends on prices and income was published in The American Economic Review. This paper has since been hailed as one of the twenty most influential articles published in the journal in its first hundred years.
In 1983, he left the University of Bristol for Princeton University. He is currently the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of International Affairs and Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the Department of Economics at Princeton. Since 2017, he has held a joint appointment with the University of Southern California, where he is the Presidential Professor of Economics. He holds both British and American citizenship.
In 2015, Deaton won that year's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Deaton was "delighted" and described himself as "someone who's concerned with the poor of the world and how people behave, and what gives them a good life." The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that economic policy intended to reduce poverty could only be designed once individuals' consumption choices were understood, saying, "More than anyone else, Angus Deaton has enhanced this understanding. By linking detailed individual choices and aggregate outcomes, his research has helped transform the fields of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and development economics". Deaton is also the author of "Letters from America," a popular semi-annual feature in the Royal Economic Society Newsletter.

Stewart Brand is an American writer best known as the editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He founded several organizations, including The WELL, the Global Business Network, and the Long Now Foundation. He is the author of several books, most recently Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
Brand was born in Rockford, Illinois, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He studied biology at Stanford University, graduating in 1960. As a soldier in the U.S. Army, he was a parachutist and taught infantry skills; he later expressed that his military experience had fostered his competence in organizing. A civilian again in 1962, he studied design at San Francisco Art Institute, photography at San Francisco State College, and participated in a legitimate scientific study of then-legal LSD in Menlo Park, California. In 1966, he married mathematician Lois Jennings, an Ottawa Native American.
Brand has lived in California since the 1960s. He and his second wife live on Mirene, a 64-foot (20 m)-long working tugboat. Built-in 1912, the boat is moored in a former shipyard in Sausalito, California. In addition, he works in Mary Heartline, a grounded fishing boat about 100 yards (90 meters) away. One of his favorite items is a table on which Otis Redding is said to have written "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay." (Brand acquired it from an antique dealer in Sausalito.)
By the mid-1960s, Brand became associated with New York multimedia group USCO and Bay Area author Ken Kesey and his "Merry Pranksters." Brand co-produced the Trips Festival, an early effort involving rock music and light shows, in San Francisco with Kesey and Ramón Sender Barayón. This was one of the first venues at which the Grateful Dead performed in San Francisco. About 10,000 hippies attended, and Haight-Ashbury soon emerged as a community. Tom Wolfe describes Brand in his 1968 book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
The Whole Earth Catalog implied an ideal of human progress that depended on decentralized, personal, and liberating technological development—so‑called "soft technology." However, in 2005 he criticized aspects of the international environmental ideology he had helped to develop. He wrote an article called "Environmental Heresies" in the May 2005 issue of the MIT Technology Review, in which he describes what he considers necessary changes to environmentalism. He suggested, among other things, that environmentalists embrace nuclear power and genetically modified organisms as technologies with more promise than risk.
Brand later developed these ideas into a book and published the Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto in 2009. The book examines how urbanization, nuclear power, genetic engineering, geoengineering, and wildlife restoration can be powerful tools in humanity's ongoing fight against global warming. In a 2019 interview, Brand described his perspective as "post-libertarian," indicating that when the Whole Earth Catalog was being written, he did not fully understand the significance of the government's role in developing technology and engineering. In his environmental position, he self-describes as an "Eco-pragmatist."

Both books were New York Times bestsellers, and Fantasyland, which the Times Book Review called "a great revisionist history of America," reached #3 on the nonfiction list.
In August 2020, he published Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America, which examines the coordinated efforts to achieve conservative economic and political changes in the United States from the 1970s to 2020, and discusses how the resulting unfettered laissez-faire approach to capitalism has resulted in an extreme level of economic inequality.

Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, and political activist. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential intellectuals of the second half of the 20th century and one of the leading figures in linguistics. He is the author of more than 100 books on linguistics, war and politics, and mass media.
Chomsky is best known for his theory of generative grammar, which argues that the ability to learn and use language is innate and hardwired into the human brain. This theory has significantly impacted linguistics and influenced research in other fields, such as cognitive science and neuroscience.
In addition to his linguistics work, Chomsky is known for his political activism and critiques of U.S. foreign policy and capitalism. He has strongly criticized U.S. imperialism, U.S. interventions in Latin America, and U.S. support for authoritarian regimes. He has also written and spoken extensively about the role of the mass media in shaping public opinion and serving the interests of the powerful. In addition, Chomsky has advocated freedom of speech and democracy.
He is also known for criticizing the mainstream media and its role in shaping public opinion. He argues that the mainstream media serves the interests of the powerful rather than providing citizens with the information they need to make informed decisions about general issues.
