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.
Academia: American politics: elections, political parties, public policy (namely energy policy), public opinion, political behavior, and political methodology (research design and analysis).
Consulting: research design and execution, quantitative and qualitative data analysis, expert testimony, jury pool selection, focus groups, etc.
General: statistical modeling and analysis, research design, qualitative analysis, report writing, course design, program evaluation, public speaking, etc.
