For the Media

So this is my Public Service announcement. I am Mark Sawyer, Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at UCLA. I am also the Director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity and Politics (www.csrep.ucla.edu). I am happy to be able to blog for you from here on occasion during this election season. I am a “frequent blogger” as it may be, writing about the elections for sites like The Root, News and Views and EbonyJet.com. I will link some of my writings on the campaign in other venues below so you can get it up to speed if you care to. Also, if you’d like to hear an extended discussion of race and the campaign you can hear my appearance on “Fresh Air” August 28^th http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94061275.

I will try to drop something here everyday. Sometimes short sometimes long.

Just so everyone is clear. I am an unabashed Obama supporter. I worked on his first campaign knocking on doors as a graduate student at University of Chicago. So for me the junior Senator of Illinois is my hometown candidate. But I do know my stuff and can offer analysis and critiques as well. I want to be thought provoking. Some things I write will be plain commentary, some essays some just analysis. It will be wild ride to this historic election.

If you disagree with me please read. I love the back and forth/rough and tumble of political debate. It is what got me into this business to begin with. So, whether you love what I write or hate it, I hope it is thought provoking.
