Political Behavior studies: Political polarization, mis/disinformation, political informedness and political apathy, new media. This summer, Emma will be conducting an Honors in the Major thesis under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Ballard to study affective polarization among US citizens. Currently, Emma hopes to conduct her own survey (either through Amazon Mechanical Turk or by drawing data from sources like YouGov or the American National Election Studies) to study how the animus generated from party identification affects American's perceptions of members of the opposite party. Emma hopes to use this research as a writing sample for PhD program applications.
