Kyle Saunders’s Summary

Recent academic research I am working on includes issues of election administration and efficacy/trust and developing models of citizen attitudes on energy issues.

I also find myself fascinated by the social and political implications of resource depletion, climate uncertainty, and the possibilities of a new paradigm. (I am attempting to put together a book manuscript on the politics of these public discourses and their networks.)

And, of course, I continue my work on ideological/partisan polarization, elections, and campaign finance.
