America Unfiltered is a joint project of EA WorldView and University College Dublin's Clinton Institute.  In these challenging times, we look at the US not to praise or denounce it but to understand it.

The need for critical thinking about the US is greater than ever today as it struggles with forces of division and disruption within and loses primacy abroad. American Unfiltered brings together academic and journalistic expertise to provide informed insights on the US today. We endorse the democratic value of thinking aloud and promoting critical conversations in a time of populist politics and algorithm-led news. We do not consider the US as an exceptional nation but as part of a global community. Our analyses will cover both domestic and international aspects of American politics, foreign policy and media. 

Through commentary, podcasts, and eventually video-casts, America Unfiltered is creating not a page but a space for a new community of discourse and dialogue.

Contribute to America Unfiltered– we are interested in publishing well-reasoned pieces in the fields of American politics, foreign policy, media and culture. These may be original writings or abstracted from scholarly publications. Articles should be approx. 1,000 words, written in a clear and concise style suitable for a broad readership. The AU editorial team will be happy to discuss ideas for pieces and to provide guidelines on publication.
