SUMMARY:CURE Seminar Series: Featuring Ashley E. Nickels\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Power\, Participation\, and Protest in Flint\, Michigan: Unpack
 ing the Policy Paradox of Municipal Takeover\nWhen the 2011 municipal take
 over in Flint\, Michigan placed the city under state control\, some suppor
 ted the intervention while others saw it as an affront to democracy. Still
  others were ambivalent about what was supposed to be a temporary disrupti
 on. However\, the city’s fiscal emergency soon became a public health em
 ergency—the Flint Water Crisis—that captured international attention.\
 n\nBut how did Flint’s municipal takeovers\, which suspended local repre
 sentational government\, alter the local political system? In Power\, Par
 ticipation\, and Protest in Flint\, Michigan\, Ashley Nickels addresses t
 he ways residents\, groups\, and organizations were able to participate po
 litically—or not—during the city’s municipal takeovers in 2002 and 2
 011. She explains how new politics were created as organizations developed
 \, new coalitions emerged and evolved\, and people’s understanding of mu
 nicipal takeovers changed.\n\nIn walking readers through the policy histo
 ry of\, implementation of\, and reaction to Flint’s two municipal takeov
 ers\, Nickels highlights how the ostensibly apolitical policy is\, in fact
 \, highly political.\n&nbsp\;\nAbout the speaker\nAshley E. Nickels\, Ph.D
 . is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Kent State University
 . She is the co-editor of Community Development and Public Administration
  Theory: Promoting Democratic Principles to Improve Communities (Routledge
 ) and author of Power Participation\, and Protest in Flint Michigan (Templ
 e).\n&nbsp\;
