Rate My Professor Glenn Richardson

Richardson's scholarship focuses on political communication, media effects, and democratic processes. His book Pulp Politics: How Political Advertising Tells the Stories of American Politics (Rowman & Littlefield, 2001) examines how campaign advertisements draw from popular culture narratives to shape voter understanding of politics. He edited Social Media and Politics: A New Way to Participate in the Political Process (Praeger, 2016), a two-volume work analyzing digital platforms' role in political participation. Recent contributions include the chapter 'Make Ads Safe for Democracy' in Fixing American Politics: Solutions for the Media Age (Routledge) and the article 'Agenda Setting in the Twenty-First Century' co-authored with G.R. Boynton in New Media & Society (2016). He has received internal research grants from Kutztown University and participated in department initiatives, including hosting the Pennsylvania Political Science Association's annual conference in 2022. Richardson's work has appeared in journals such as Presidential Studies Quarterly and Poroi, influencing discussions on political advertising and media literacy.
