EP 013 | Dr. Aaron Belkin, PhD - Part 2

Thanks for tuning into part 2 of our conversation! In this episode, we discuss "Take Back the Court." In our first conversation (EP 011) with Dr. Belkin, we spoke about the Palm Center and the Transgender Military Ban.   EP 011 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcnWND3OxEI  Aaron Belkin, PhD serves as professor of political science at San Francisco State University, where he teaches a lecture course on delusion and paranoia in American politics. Prior to his arrival at State, he was an associate professor of political science at University of California, Santa Barbara and an associate professor of psychology at City University of New York. He earned his B.A. in international relations at Brown University in 1988 and his Ph.D in political science at the University of California, Berkeley in 1998.   Dr. Aaron Belkin is a scholar and advocate who, since 1999, has served as founding director of the Palm Center, which the Advocate named as one of the most effective LGBT rights organizations in the United States. He designed and implemented much of the public education campaign responsible for helping end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in 2011. Aaron summarized the keys to successful advocacy in the e-book, How We Won: Progressive Lessons from the Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which Arianna Huffington praised as a “best practices guide for civil rights fights.” He has written and edited more than thirty scholarly articles, chapters and books.   He is also the director of "Take Back the Court" which has a mission "informing the public about the danger that the Supreme Court poses to democracy, and about the viability of court expansion—adding seats to the Court—as the only strategy that re-balances the court after its 2016 theft."
