America Unfiltered Episode One: ScottLucas

Dr. Allison Page is an assistant professor with a joint appointment in the Humanities Institute and the Department of Communication and Theatre Arts at Old Dominion in Virginia, and has focused much of her work on race in areas such as the criminal justice system and how the media reproduces concepts about race.

She joins Liam for a wide ranging conversation about criminal justice reform and how the Trump administration has treated the subject.

America Unfiltered Episode Two: Dr. Allison Page

Barack Obama remains an inspiration for millions of Americans. As the first African-American President in the nation's history, he shattered a glass ceiling. But apart from that pivotal achievement and beyond the stark difference in leadership style and tone between him and his successor, what will Obama's legacy be?

Liam Kennedy discusses with Clodagh Harrington, author of Obama's Washington and Senior Lecturer in Politics at De Montfort University Leicester and Scott Lucas, Professor of International Politics and American Studies at the University of Birmingham and the founder and editor of EA Worldview.
