Among Johnson’s research interests are American political behavior, how social environments and other sources of information shape public opinion, and the impact of super PACs on American politics. Estrada-Correa’s current research focuses on aspects of racial stratification related to housing and neighborhoods, including neighborhood change resulting from foreclosures. The two recently published research linking foreclosures to diminished participation in the political process for voters who lost their homes as well as voters who remained in neighborhoods significantly affected by the housing crisis.
