From 2018-2020\, she taught US Foreign Policy at Webster Vienna Private University. \nBeyond her academic experience\, Dr. Batka has worked in a range of non-profit oversight and government capacities. From October 2011 to July 2016\, she worked at RAND Corporation in Washington\, D.C. where her research focused on Army operations and planning\, military programs and policy\, health care\, and veterans’ issues. Dr. Batka served as RAND’s liaison to the U.S. Army G-3/5/7 (Operations and Plans). In this capacity\, Dr. Batka led coordination and communication between the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army\, G-3/5/7 and the RAND leadership team. Dr. Batka has honed expertise in U.S. military and veterans’ health and mental health issues.

Dr. Batka is also a skilled and experienced qualitative researcher. She has conducted\, coded\, and analyzed hundreds of interviews with policymakers and stakeholders on a range of specialized and sensitive subjects\, including military sexual assault\, mental health and health policies and programs\, and identification of potential DoD programs and activities for consolidation or elimination.

SUMMARY:The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating discussion about an important concept that underpins our intellectual\, social and economic lives.\n\n\nAs the war on diversity upends government\, corporate and education policies\, the history of the idea of diversity has never been more important. David Oppenheimer\, a diversity skeptic turned diversity admirer\, chronicles how diversity became a foundational value of higher education over the last 200 years\, how it evolved as it was adopted by commerce and science\, and what the implications are of the current backlash. \nThe diversity principle—the idea that people with different backgrounds\, experiences\, identities\, and viewpoints produce better work by engaging with one another—was a core tenet of the first modern research university\, founded in Germany in 1810. It was the inspiration for John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty\, a touchstone of academic freedom; a hallmark of Charles Eliot’s remaking of Harvard in the late 19th century to promote the “clash of ideas”; and a foundation of the 20th-century efforts toward equality of Thurgood Marshall\, Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, and Pauli Murray. In telling the story of the diversity principle through the experiences of these and other remarkable thinkers\, Oppenheimer argues for affirming diversity as a central value of education and an “essential ingredient for a robust intellectual and political culture.” \nJoin us for a fascinating discussion about an important concept that underpins our intellectual\, social\, and economic lives. \nSPEAKERS \nDavid Oppenheimer\, Clinical Professor of Law\, UC Berkeley Law; Faculty Co-director\, Pro Bono Program; Director\, Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law; Author\, The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea \nModerator TBA \n5 p.m. doors open & check-in5:30–6:30 p.m. program6:30 p.m. book signing(all times Pacific Time) \nPhotos courtesy the speaker.

DESCRIPTION:Join the Goldman School of Public Policy for a special conversation with Hawai’i Governor Josh Green.\n\n\nGovernor Green’s path to Hawai’i’s highest office is shaped by his medical background and his frontline experience responding to crisis. From his work as an emergency room doctor to his tenure as lieutenant governor\, Green emerged as a key leader during the COVID-19 pandemic\, guiding Hawai’i through an unprecedented public health emergency—a role that ultimately led him to the governor’s office. \nHear from Governor Green on his journey from medicine to public service\, and how his training as a doctor continues to inform his policy priorities. The discussion will examine Hawai’i’s response to wildfires\, climate impacts\, and public safety challenges\, including innovative approaches to issues like gun violence\, and consider what it means to govern with a public health lens in an era of overlapping crises.

SUMMARY:Autocracy 2.0: How China's Rise Reinvented Tyranny
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Jennifer Lind.\n\n\nGreat power competition requires countries to be technological leaders\, but a large body of literature holds that autocracies\, which suppress creativity and information flows\, stifle innovation. Many observers of China’s rise thus argued that it would be unable to compete technologically with the United States. This book challenges this view. Drawing on metrics of innovation\, I show that China has become a global innovation leader. I argue that China and other “smart authoritarians” have adapted their tools of control in order to better compete with free societies in today’s globalized information age. The evolution of Autocracy 2.0 suggests that China – and the countries that emulate its smart authoritarian model – will be far more competitive than many scholars expect: which has dramatic implications for the balance of power\, the future of international order\, and the global struggle between democracy and authoritarianism.

SUMMARY:Dr. Maya Kornberg: Stuck—How Money/Media/Violence Stop Change in Congress
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Dr. Kornberg talk about the sobering portrait of a legislative body paralyzed by its own internal dynamics.\n\n\nCongress has long been a punching bag for American dissatisfaction with their government or with the direction of the country. But its unpopularity keeps plumbing new depths\, even as the major party polarization has strengthened. In short\, Congress—the central democratic institution in the country—is hanging on by a thread. But its biggest liability might be its inability to reform itself. \nMaya Kornberg\, a senior research fellow at the Brennan Center’s Elections and Government Program\, has explored the ways that Congress has become increasingly inhospitable to change. The “Watergate babies” of 1974\, the Contract with America conservatives of 1994\, and the historic 2018 class fueled by backlash to Donald Trump all represent younger\, more diverse\, and less entrenched members who arrived in the capital energized and idealistic. Today\, Dr. Kornberg says political violence\, astronomical campaign costs\, relentless fundraising demands\, shrinking staff\, and centralized party leadership all constrain the ability of new members to legislate and represent their constituents. Social media\, while offering new platforms for political expression\, has also heightened harassment and fed a performative culture that rewards spectacle over substance. \nKornberg talked with dozens of individuals\, examined congressional records\, and heard from lawmakers past and present—including Henry Waxman\, Toby Moffett\, Phil English\, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\, and Lauren Underwood. She presents her findings in her new book Stuck: How Money\, Media\, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress. In it\, she chronicles the efforts of congressional reformers over the last 50 years and documents the mounting forces that have kept their reforms from creating meaningful change. Come hear her talk about the sobering portrait that emerged of a legislative body paralyzed by its own internal dynamics. \nSPEAKERS \nDr. Maya Kornberg\, Ph.D.\, Senior Research Fellow\, NYU Law’s Brennan Center for Justice; Author.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Doleac: The Science of Second Chances in Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Can small changes result in big results? Come with your questions and find out when Jennifer Doleac joins us in San Francisco.\n\n\nJennifer Doleac studies the economics of crime and discrimination. And when she considers criminal justice reform\, she’s not only hopeful but actually optimistic that things can improve for the entire system as a whole. In her new book The Science of Second Chances\, Doleac lays out her view of how to reduce both crime and incarceration. She draws on cutting-edge economic research and experiments to offer a reform blueprint. She says shifting the incentives that people face can produce dramatic changes in the decisions they make\, which can result in significantly fewer people going through the criminal justice system. \nFrom DNA databases that increase the likelihood of catching repeat offenders to leniency programs for first-time defendants\, she reveals a series of surprising interventions that she says actually work\, along with cautionary tales about great ideas that never panned out. Doleac says we can have both public safety and a smaller\, “less intrusive” justice system without waiting for big structural reforms that might never happen. \nCan small changes result in big results? Come with your questions and find out when Jennifer Doleac joins us in San Francisco. \nSPEAKERS \nJennifer Doleac\, Executive Vice President of Criminal Justice\, Arnold Ventures; Author\, The Science of Second Chances: A Revolution in Criminal Justice \nModerator TBA \n5 p.m. doors open & check-in5:30–6:30 p.m. program6:30 p.m. book signing & wine reception(all times Pacific Time) \nThis program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund. \nPhoto by Ling Wang Photography; courtesy the speaker.

SUMMARY:The Chinese Communist Party Hierarchy during the Cold War and After
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear the life story of Xi Zhongxun\, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with Party demands.\n\n\nChina’s leader\, Xi Jinping\, is one of the most powerful individuals in the world—and one of the least understood. Much can be learned\, however\, about both Xi Jinping and the nature of the party he leads from the memory and legacy of his father\, the revolutionary Xi Zhongxun (1913–2002). The elder Xi served the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for more than seven decades. He worked at the right hand of prominent leaders Zhou Enlai and Hu Yaobang. He helped build the Communist base area that saved Mao Zedong in 1935\, and he initiated the Special Economic Zones that launched China into the reform era after Mao’s death. He led the Party’s United Front efforts toward Tibetans\, Uyghurs\, and Taiwanese. And though in 1989 he initially sought to avoid violence\, he ultimately supported the Party’s crackdown on the Tiananmen protesters. \nThe Party’s Interests Come First is the first biography of Xi Zhongxun written in English. This biography is at once a sweeping story of the Chinese revolution and the first several decades of the People’s Republic of China and a deeply personal story about making sense of one’s own identity within a larger political context. Drawing on an array of new documents\, interviews\, diaries\, and periodicals\, Joseph Torigian vividly tells the life story of Xi Zhongxun\, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party’s demands. Through the eyes of Xi Jinping’s father\, Torigian reveals the extraordinary organizational\, ideological\, and coercive power of the CCP—and the terrible cost in human suffering that comes with it.
