At Duke University Press, we see scholarship as a powerful basis for understanding our current sociopolitical climate and working toward a brighter future. With this in mind, we’re glad to present staff-curated syllabi of incisive work on today's most critical issues, from climate change to police violence to immigration.

We encourage you to read and share the content we’ve selected, and we hope you find it valuable in preparing courses. All journal articles and issues in these syllabi are freely available online until September 30, 2020.

VoxGov is a unique “discovery platform” which aggregates a broad range of official and ephemeral information resources issued by individual representatives and organizations from all branches of the U.S. Federal Government, and links that content to publicly accessible government documentation. It is an online subscription-based service primarily used for Political Science and Public Policy research.

VoxGov's 62M documents come from approximately 8500 sources and located from across 600,000 + website locations, including approximately 45,000 unique government web locations as well as social media sites of government representatives and agencies. The provider facilitates continuous daily indexing, and cache web content including “information that is no longer retrievable.” VoxGov assert that many governmental press releases, as well as social media posts, have “never before been aggregated, much less collected in real-time.”
