Book lauch with Frances Wang, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Colgate University followed by commentary by Rory Truex, Associate Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University.Why do nations actively publicize previously overlooked disputes, and why does domestic mobilization sometimes fail to lead to aggressive policy?The Art of State Persuasion explores China’s strategic use of state propaganda during crises, revealing why certain disputes are amplified while others are downplayed. This variation depends on the alignment, or lack thereof, between Chinese state policy and public opinion. When public sentiment is more moderate than the government’s foreign policy objectives, a ‘mobilization campaign’ is initiated. Conversely, when public opinion is more hawkish, a ‘pacification campaign’ is deployed to mollify public sentiment.Sponsored by the Political Science Department's Rakin Fund.

National Poetry Month, launched by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, is an annual celebration in April that aims to highlight the importance of poetry and poets in American culture, encouraging people to read, write, and share poetry.The University Libraries, in collaboration with The Upstate Institute and the Adirondack Center for Writing, will be circulating a poetry machine throughout the Village of Hamilton in April.Pay attention the next time you’re at Case-Geyer, Flour & Salt, MOMs, or the Hamilton Public Library. You might encounter the ACW’s Poetry Machine.The Poetry Machine is an old capsule machine, the kind you might spend two quarters to get a bouncy ball, sticky hand, or small plastic alien from in the vestibule of a convenience store. With our machine, you can get your very own poem (for free—no quarters necessary).Inside the Poetry Machine are 10 different poems. Each one features a unique style of poetry, including haiku, cento, epistolary, list, ode, ekphrasis, prose poem, how-to, erasure, and cut-up.If you want to "check out" more poetry, visit the poetry display on the third floor of Case-Geyer.
