Kenneth M. Miller
I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Princeton School of Public & International Affairs at Princeton University and a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York at Geneseo. Prior to my academic career I spent 8 years in polling, advertising, and market research at The Mellman Group (Washington, DC), Action Based Research (Akron, OH), and Liggett-Stashower Advertising (Cleveland, OH).
In my scholarly research I am principally interested in political parties and campaign finance. I investigate how the sources of funds affect the content of campaign messages, the behavior of legislators, and the balance of power within party networks. I am also interested the downstream effects of political communication, studying how images used in campaign advertisements affect perception of candidates' positions, and how the presentation of news affects how individuals choose which stories to read. My work has been published in The Journal of Politics, Politics and Religion, Social Science Quarterly, and The Forum.
