Biographical Info
Dr. Lind studies political leadership and citizenship and public discourse pertaining to both. She co-authored Political Tone: How Leaders Talk and Why (2013, Chicago University Press) with Roderick P. Hart and Jay P. Childers.
When not being scholarly she enjoys bird watching, cooking, and craft beers—although not necessarily in that order.
Research
Drawing on her study of the final development phase of the Vision for the Future of Water Supply in Kansas, Dr. Lind is analyzing how citizens use language in environmental decision-making. By better understanding the rhetorical choices participants make when talking and writing about natural resources, she aims to improve such public processes.
