In Spring 2021, several of the Lab’s graduate students were awarded an ISU Graduate School Summer Research Grant. The students are working with Dr. Stoutenborough and Dr. Kirkpatrick to develop and implement a nationwide public opinion survey which will provide the basis for multiple research projects, including topics such as animal rights and welfare policy, the role of family in political socialization, beliefs in political conspiracy theories, policy support for Deaf and Hard of Hearing policy, views toward female sex offender policy, and narratives toward fracking regulation.
