Seth Warner

Assistant Professor

Political Science

Seth Warner studies state and local politics in the United States from a behavioral perspective. Much of his work focuses on how local contexts affect the way people feel, identify, and act in relation to politics. His current project studies differences in polarization across US cities and towns, and how highly polarized environments affect the people who live in them. Other work shows that polarized contexts lead to more adversarial rhetoric among elites, and higher rates of protest participation among the public.

Professor Warner is a native of Connecticut and earned his PhD from Penn State University.
