Her field of expertise includes public opinion and youth political engagement. Her book, "A New Engagement?" (Oxford University Press), written with Cliff Zukin, Scott Keeter, Michael Delli Carpini, and Krista Jenkins explores the civic and political activism of today's youth generation, comparing them to older cohorts of Xers, Boomers and the Dutifuls. She has published work on a host of topics, including the relationship between faith and civic engagement among college students, the role of issues in college student activism, Americans’ attitudes toward gay rights, the challenges of survey research measurement, and public opinion on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Dr. Andolina graduated from Emory University with a B.A. in History and received both her M.P.P. (1992) and her Ph.D. (1997) from Georgetown University.
