Episode 4: Friendship

Amplified Oklahoma Show Notes

August 17, 2016

The first week of classes this semester at Oklahoma State University coincides with National Friendship Week, so what better way to start out the school year than to talk about friendship! In this episode, we'll hear from two Oklahoman politicians, Lisa Johnson Billy and Anastasia Pittman, and learn how friendship impacted their lives and political campaigns. Also, Dr. Farida Jalalzai from OSU's Department of Political Science joins us to discuss her research on women in leadership.
