The Women Behind the Men - a podcast by Marist Poll

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, Kwelina Thompson, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at Cornell University, joins the team to talk about her article for the Roper Center blog, “Women and Public Opinion Polling.” What was it really like to be a female pollster in the 1940s and 1950s? Kwelina has the answer.

Then, how can people participate in a Marist Poll? It’s a question we get asked a lot. The answer: it’s random. We explain.

And, this week Barbara has a fun fact about Earth Day! (Uh oh, Lee’s not going to be happy about this one.)

Lastly, don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy.
