  • Electric vehicle framing: Comparing insights using traditional and social media

    Open Access•Chiara Cervini, Tao Ruan et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2025•References: 9

    To reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, countries around the world are incentivizing the uptake of low and zero-emission electric vehicles (EVs). To understand the social and political context of this shift toward electrified transportation, we study media coverage of EVs. Using a mixed methods approach, we examine media framing of EVs to understand how EV-related information is constructed and conveyed to the public. We draw on…

  • Combatting Sexual Harassment in the Field Is Fundamental to the Research Enterprise

    Open Access•Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2024•References: 8

    Field research, defined as “leaving one’s home institution in order to acquire data, information, or insights that significantly inform one’s research” (Kapiszewski, MacLean, and Read 2015, 1), is a beneficial research practice. It also is a practice with significant safety risks, including sexual harassment, that can undermine the research process and harm researchers. Thus, combatting sexual harassment in the field is fundamental to maintaining…

  • Creating, Implementing, and Experiencing Research Opportunities: A Focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

    Open Access•Natasha T Duncan, Pablo Balcazar et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 4

    High-impact educational practices benefit undergraduate students in a variety of ways. These opportunities include student–faculty research, study-abroad and study-away programs, and internships, among others. This study focuses on one type of these high-impact practices: research. Research experiences foster student engagement and success, and they especially matter for marginalized and minoritized students, who all too often are underrepresente…

  • Learning through Peer Reviewing and Publishing in the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics: Twenty Years Later

    Open Access•Christina P Walker, Terri L Towner et al.•ARTICLE•PS Political Science & Politics•2021•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    The Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics (PSAJ) , sponsored by the Pi Sigma Alpha National Honor Society, was founded in 2001 at Purdue University. After 20 years, much has changed in undergraduate research and publishing, but the benefits of producing a peer-reviewed journal remain the same. Undergraduate research has increased in prominence, and the journal has modernized to meet these transformations. This article describes the his…

  • MeToo from a Department Head Perspective

    Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2019•Cited by: 2

    In this essay I discuss some key ways in which sexual harassment policies have changed over time and provide advice to department leaders on handling and combatting sexual harassment. I encourage department leaders to know and understand how to implement the sexual harassment policies at their universities, follow through and be persistent, proactively train colleagues and students, and ensure due process for, and respect the humanity of, all par…

  • Media and the politics of groups and identities in tumultuous times

    Rosalee A Clawson, Dwaine Jengelley•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2018

    The media are critical to a well-functioning democratic society, and freedom of the press is a fundamental tenet of democracy. Through their reporting, journalists hold elites and institutions acco

  • The media whiteness of Social Security and Medicare

    Rosalee A Clawson, Janel Jett•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2018•Cited by: 5•References: 14

    The mass media often represent black Americans in negative, stereotypical, and inaccurate ways. Scholars know much less about how the media characterize white citizens and the implications of these depictions for public opinion and public policy. In this research, we examine the whiteness of two popular social welfare programs—Social Security and Medicare. We argue that at least part of the popularity of these policies stems from their constructi…

  • Media coverage and its impact on the politics of groups and identities

    Dwaine Jengelley, Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2018•Cited by: 2

  • A Dialectical and Dialogical Approach to Health Policies and Programs: The Case of Open Defecation in India

    Robin Patric Clair, Ritika Rastogi et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2018

    A multi-pronged approach to health policy and programs related to open defecation (OD) is proposed via a qualitative study conducted in rural India. A dialogic and dialectic perspective is employed to interpret the key findings from nine focus groups, highlighting the dialectical views toward OD and latrines. Findings indicate that current policy may be too narrow as it does not fully deal with the multiple reasons, including social communication…

  • Finding the Right Value: Framing Effects on Domain Experts

    Open Access•Amelia Caron Andrews, Rosalee A Clawson et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2017•Cited by: 9•References: 58

    By defining the essence of a policy problem, an issue frame shapes how individuals think about a political issue. In this research, we investigate framing effects among domain experts, an understudied yet increasingly important set of individuals in the policymaking process. Because domain experts have extensive and highly structured knowledge on a particular topic, they are likely to actively process issue frames to which they are exposed. Conse…

  • Extended Narrative Empathy: Poly-Narratives and the Practice of Open Defecation

    Open Access•Robin Patric Clair, Ritika Rastogi et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Theory•2016•Cited by: 4•References: 25

    After reviewing empathy, narrative, and narrative empathy, the three concepts are combined to create a communication theory—Extended Narrative Empathy (ENE). The theory supports expanding perspectives via the collection of a rich array of narratives that are not always in agreement (poly-narratives). Empathy is required in order to see similar stories, peripheral stories, contentious stories, and antagonists as protagonists (via protagonist inver…

  • A Wise Latina or a Baffled Rookie? Media Coverage of Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s Ascent to the Bench

    Terri L Towner, Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2016•Cited by: 8•References: 27

    We examine newspaper coverage of the US Supreme Court confirmation process to investigate whether Sonia Sotomayor received different coverage than other nominees due to her status as a minority woman. Sotomayor was the only justice seated over the last three decades who received extensive attention to her race and gender, and her coverage was more negatively toned than that received by other nominees. Compared to her counterparts, the press downp…

    Many mainstream newspapers have diversified their organizations—at least to some extent—by hiring minority journalists. Some scholars argue that a diversified newsroom will improve media coverage of minority communities and issues; others think that the power of journalistic norms will constrain minority journalists so that they will be unable or unwilling to enhance the news coverage of minorities. In this article, the authors examine journalist…

    Jonathan S Morris, Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•Political Communication•2005•Cited by: 14•References: 13

    In this article, we provide a comprehensive, systematic examination of media coverage of Congress in the 1990s. Specifically, we content analyze over 2,600 congressional news stories from the New York Times and CBS Evening News from 1990 through 1998. We find that the news media covered substantive policy concerns and the legislative process quite regularly and that stories focusing on individual personalities and political scandals were comparat…

    Objective. In this article, we investigate black feminist consciousness, its relationship to race consciousness, and its impact on policy attitudes. Unlike scholars and activists who argue that black feminist consciousness detracts from race consciousness, we argue that the two go hand in hand. Methods. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we examine public opinion survey data from the 1993 National Black Politics Study. Results. We find that both…

  • Framing Supreme Court Decisions: The Mainstream Versus the Black Press

    Open Access•Rosalee A Clawson, Harry C “neil” Strine et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Black Studies•2003

    The Supreme Court regularly makes decisions with profound policy implications, but it largely leaves it to others to shape public opinion regarding those policies. The media play an important role in framing the Court's decisions, yet few studies have examined media coverage of the Court. It is quite possible that not all media frame the Court's decisions in the same way. We analyze the Black and mainstream presses' coverage of the Court's 1995 A…

    Using data on grassroots party activists in the South, we explore the attitudinal structure of Democratic activists. Because of their socialization experiences with both racial and gender discrimination, we hypothesize that African American women will have a unique attitudinal structure regarding racial and gender issues when compared to other activist subgroups. Our results indicate the importance of race, gender, and the black church for unders…

    Framing is the process by which a communication source, such as a news organization, defines and constructs a political issue or public controversy. Two experiments examined the effect of news frames on tolerance for the Ku Klux Klan. The first presented research participants with one of two local news stories about a Klan rally that varied by frame: One framed the rally as a free speech issue, and the other framed it as a disruption of public or…

  • Interviewing the Interviewers: Journalistic Norms and Racial Diversity in the Newsroom

    Katsuo A Nishikawa, Terri L Towner et al.•ARTICLE•Howard Journal of Communications•2009•Cited by: 28•References: 21

    Many mainstream newspapers have diversified their organizations—at least to some extent—by hiring minority journalists. Some scholars argue that a diversified newsroom will improve media coverage of minority communities and issues; others think that the power of journalistic norms will constrain minority journalists so that they will be unable or unwilling to enhance the news coverage of minorities. In this article, the authors examine journalist…

    Open Access•Robin Patric Clair, Ritika Rastogi et al.•ARTICLE•Communication Theory•2016•Cited by: 4•References: 25

    After reviewing empathy, narrative, and narrative empathy, the three concepts are combined to create a communication theory—Extended Narrative Empathy (ENE). The theory supports expanding perspectives via the collection of a rich array of narratives that are not always in agreement (poly-narratives). Empathy is required in order to see similar stories, peripheral stories, contentious stories, and antagonists as protagonists (via protagonist inver…

  • A Wise Latina or a Baffled Rookie? Media Coverage of Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s Ascent to the Bench

    Terri L Towner, Rosalee A Clawson•ARTICLE•Women & Politics•2016•Cited by: 8•References: 27

    We examine newspaper coverage of the US Supreme Court confirmation process to investigate whether Sonia Sotomayor received different coverage than other nominees due to her status as a minority woman. Sotomayor was the only justice seated over the last three decades who received extensive attention to her race and gender, and her coverage was more negatively toned than that received by other nominees. Compared to her counterparts, the press downp…

  • Finding the Right Value: Framing Effects on Domain Experts

    Open Access•Amelia Caron Andrews, Rosalee A Clawson et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2017•Cited by: 9•References: 58

    By defining the essence of a policy problem, an issue frame shapes how individuals think about a political issue. In this research, we investigate framing effects among domain experts, an understudied yet increasingly important set of individuals in the policymaking process. Because domain experts have extensive and highly structured knowledge on a particular topic, they are likely to actively process issue frames to which they are exposed. Conse…

  • The media whiteness of Social Security and Medicare

    Rosalee A Clawson, Janel Jett•ARTICLE•Politics Groups and Identities•2018•Cited by: 5•References: 14

    The mass media often represent black Americans in negative, stereotypical, and inaccurate ways. Scholars know much less about how the media characterize white citizens and the implications of these depictions for public opinion and public policy. In this research, we examine the whiteness of two popular social welfare programs—Social Security and Medicare. We argue that at least part of the popularity of these policies stems from their constructi…
