Research
I am interested in the intersection of individuals with their institutions, both social and political, and the effect that relationship has on the individual, the institution, and the political system. Primarily, my research examines the effect of churches on individual political behavior, but also includes questions involving voting and elections, parties and interest groups, public opinion, and judicial politics. Along these lines, Chris Gilbert (at Gustavus Adolphus College) and I were recently awarded a National Science Foundation grant to study Lutheran and Episcopalian clergy and parishioners in order to investigate core questions about the impact of religion in American civic life. My teaching interests include a number of facets of American politics: political behavior; parties, interest groups, and social movements; elections and voting; religion and politics; media and politics; and social science research methods.
