  • Affective Climate and Political Polarization

    Open AccessE Huddart Kennedy, Emily Huddart et al.ARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…2026References: 11

    This paper examines affective climate polarization (ACP) and affective political polarization (APP) - emotional distance between supporters and opponents of decarbonization and political partisans, respectively. Analyzing original, representative Canadian survey data (n = 2503), we examine why people have differing levels of ACP and APP and the extent to which ACP and APP predict support for a carbon tax and beliefs about how decarbonization will…

  • Conceptualizing Affective Climate Polarization

    Open AccessE Huddart Kennedy, T J Silva et al.ARTICLESocius Sociological Research for…2025References: 25

    Existing research demonstrates that liberals are more likely than conservatives to endorse climate policies. Scholars attribute this to differences in worldviews, elite cues, and misinformation. But political divisions are also emotional, as evidenced by partisans’ increasingly disliking one another. Recent work extends this pattern beyond political identity to the domain of issue-based polarization. The authors apply these insights to the sociol…

  • Can a just transition achieve decarbonization? Explaining fossil fuel community opposition in the Canadian Oil Sands

    Parker MuzzerallARTICLEEnvironmental Sociology2024Cited by: 5References: 13

    Just transition policies are widely viewed as one of the most effective mechanisms for compensating and building support for decarbonization in fossil fuel communities. However, early empirical work suggests that many coal-producing regions remain opposed to decarbonization even when just transition policies are proposed or implemented. In this study, I add to and nuance existing accounts by analyzing data from 18 interviews with oil and gas work…

  • Morality, Emotions, and the Ideal Environmentalist

    Open AccessE Huddart Kennedy, Parker MuzzerallARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2022Cited by: 2References: 46

    Americans are politically polarized in their views on environmental protection, and scholars have identified structural and cultural drivers of this polarity. Missing from these theories is a consideration of the emotional dynamics at play in environmentally relevant interactions between liberals and conservatives. Based on analyses of in-depth interviews conducted with 63 politically and socioeconomically diverse residents of four communities in…
