My name is Jessica Geiger (she/her), but you can call me Jess. I am a political science PhD student at Claremont Graduate University and a 2023-2024 Lincoln Land Fellow. I am interested in public opinion, political behavior, political psychology, and environmental justice. My work primarily focuses on how the interaction between identities and contextual factors can shape attitudes toward climate change, mitigation policies, and environmental policies in general. I am also interested in how institutions and policy-making can lead to environmental injustices and shape inequitable policy outcomes.

 

I am one of the recipients of the DPE Research Assistant of the Year award. I serve on the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management Student Activities Committee and am an organizer for the CGU Political Behavior Lab. 

​

I received an MA in Public Policy & Evaluation and the Inclusive Excellence in College Teaching Certificate from Claremont Graduate University. I am a proud CSU, Los Angeles alumna, and first-generation college graduate.
