The Public Policy Institute at Western Carolina University has created a new blog site designed to offer a nonpartisan glimpse into the world of North Carolina politics and policy.
The site, “Politics and Policy in the Tar Heel State,” features ongoing analysis and commentary about political issues.
After the election, the site will include posts designed to help explain what happened and what the results are likely to mean for North Carolina residents in the months ahead.
The site is the brainchild of Chris Cooper, director of WCU’s PPI and associate professor of political science and public affairs, and Gibbs Knotts, head of the WCU department of political science and public affairs.
“We intend to use this as a platform to add to the policy debate in the Tar Heel State,” Cooper said. “Most of our posts will try to connect findings in political science and public affairs to the real world of politics and policy in North Carolina. Many of our posts will include original data analysis.”
