Explore some of the challenges surrounding civic participation in Kansas in the Fall 2016 issue of The Journal.

  • Opting in by Brian Whepley. About 45 percent of all eligible voters fail to show up to the polls for general elections in Kansas. A diagnosis of what’s wrong with our democracy points the way to more than just technical solutions to the problem.
  • A Necessary Dialogue by Ed O’Malley. Exploring how the Kansas Leadership Center should respond to a series of heartrending events gripping our nation.
  • How to read a political mailer by Chris Green. The Journal mocks up a mailer and offers tips for using political advertising to become a more informed voter.
  • Making the turn by Laura Roddy. Kansans have developed a good reputation for their willingness to volunteer. How do we leverage the state’s spirit of service into more acts of leadership?
  • Where’s the leadership by Chapman Rackaway and Michael Smith. The race for U.S. president generates a national conversation on leadership every four years. Two Kansas political scientists examine where candidates are demonstrating the use of Kansas Leadership Center ideas in the efforts – and where they’re not.
  • Amplifying the Public’s Voice by Chris Green. The everyday experiences and insights of the public are underutilized resources in addressing our most difficult civic problems.
  • Getting Outside the Circle by Jeff Tuttle. A photo essay featuring the Kansas City’s Asian Cultural Festival and the story behind the woman who helped start it.
