From public engagement to civically engaged research
Methodological pluralism in civically engaged research
In civically engaged research (CER), political scientists typically partner with community members and groups to jointly create and apply knowledge on politics, power, and governance that can promote self-governance. The reciprocal involvement of scholars, the people being studied, and broader communities is central to CER. It requires skills in collaborative problem-solving and the deployment of rigorous research methods. Yet, while CER studies …

Life Difficulties, Violent Online Extremism and Support for Political Violence in the United States
Exposure to violent extremist content online predicts support for political violence in the U.S. Online exposure to violent extremist content is amplified for individuals suffering from various life difficulties because people facing life challenges may harbor resentment and anger, and blame others for their woes. This creates a cognitive opening that attracts such individuals to extremist content online. Based on data from two nationally represe…
TikTok and Civic Activity Among Young Adults
TikTok is known for its lighthearted dance and lip-synch videos, yet videos with the hashtag #politics have garnered nearly 14 billion views. Does young adults’ politically oriented expression on TikTok lead to increased civic engagement offline? TikTok helps incorporate young adults into political social networks that may encourage additional civic activity. In addition, the playful, humorous nature of TikTok-based political expression encourage…
Creditable Civic Engagement? Aligning Work on Civic Activity with Faculty Incentives
Political scientists frequently study and engage in civic engagement work and the institutions that employ them state that they value these endeavors. Yet, there is a disconnect between valuing and doing this work relative to aligning it with faculty incentives. We discuss our experiences with civic engagement work and how we made it fit into how we are evaluated. We use our experience to motivate recommendations to fellow faculty, institutions, …

Snapchat and civic engagement among college students
During the 2016 presidential election cycle, Clinton and Trump used Snapchat as one part of their overall voter outreach and engagement efforts. This portion of their campaign strategy was disproportionately targeted toward younger voters, since those between 18 and 25 comprise a vast portion of Snapchat’s user base. Did their efforts, those of political parties, or those of interest groups on Snapchat produce higher levels of civic engagement am…
Presidents’ Vetoes and Audience Costs
Veto threats may offer presidents bargaining leverage, but such leverage will be diminished if they and those with whom they transact business view a veto as hurting the president’s approval rating and his party’s prospects in the next election. How concerned must presidents be about the audience costs associated with a veto? Political science research suggests that they should be in that the public does not like vetoes and punishes presidents wh…
College Students and Online Political Expression During the 2016 Election
While college students traditionally exhibit low levels of political participation and interest in politics, they are more likely to engage in some forms of political expression than their elders. Their greater familiarity with online forms of political expression and engagement potentially lowers their barriers for political involvement. In turn, this potentially draws more young adults into the political process. The authors compare the precurs…
Congressional Response to Statements of Administration Policy and Presidential Signing Statements
We explore the sensitivity of Congress to statements of administration policy (SAPs) and signing statements in the struggle with the executive over policy. We hypothesize that the nature and use of objections contained in these presidential communications generates additional congressional oversight. To test whether this happens, we developed a dataset with all SAPs, signing statements, and congressional oversight hearings from 1997 through 2007.…
Young Voters and War
Objective We investigate whether the Iraq War might be a catalyzing event for this generation, like Vietnam was for baby boomers or World War II for the “greatest generation,” through testing how opinions about the war influence patterns of political participation. Methods Using data from an Internet‐based survey of randomly sampled college students at a midwestern state university and the 2008 National Election Studies, we investigate the relati…
Campaign-Related Social Networking and the Political Participation of College Students
College students politically participate through traditional mechanisms at lower rates than their elders. Yet, members of this group may participate by other means, like friending candidates and joining political groups through social networking websites. We argue that these online activities serve as a meaningful form of civic engagement by broadening who participates and encouraging other forms of participation. Using a survey of randomly chose…
Cable and the Partisan Polarization of the President's Audience
Presidents' audiences have been shrinking over time. Prior research suggests that the rise of cable television is to blame. We investigate whether this shrinkage is occurring disproportionately among those the president most needs to persuade—disapprovers of his performance. Analyzing both A. C. Nielsen's audience ratings and self‐reports of speech watching from 32 postspeech surveys, we find that as the share of households subscribing to cable h…
Statements of Power
George W. Bush attracted heavy fire for his frequent use of signing statements to disregard or reinterpret provisions of law he deemed unconstitutional infringements on executive power. A 2006 American Bar Association task force recommended that the president instead communicate constitutionality concerns to Congress prior to bill passage and that he veto bills when those concerns were not sufficiently remedied. I trace the development of preside…
