Training & Dissertation

Subfield: American Politics
Specialties: Political Psychology, Public Opinion, LGBTQ Politics, & Survey Methodology

Dissertation: "The Politics of Disgust: Public Opinion Toward LGBTQ People And Policies"
Committee: Arthur Lupia (Chair), Ted Brader, Nancy Burns, Sara McClelland (Psychology & Women's Studies)

What makes negative attitudes toward LGBTQ people and issues so enduring, especially given dramatic shifts in opinion and policy in recent years? I argue that disgust, given its intimate connection to sex, sexuality, and bodies, continues to influence public opinion toward LGBTQ people by bolstering prejudice, undermining policy support, and impeding persuasion.
