As part of our most recent webpage redesign, we've decided to launch a blog to help keep our clients, peers, and other interested parties up to date on some of the research projects we're engaged in, trends in political and social values, interesting work by others in the areas of political psychology, cognitive linguistics and more traditional quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and findings. Our goal in establishing this blog is fairly straightforward - to provide information for our friends, allies and the broader progressive community to understand how voters think and reason about political issues, ways to measure those values and opinions, and ways to make this kind of research actionable.  While you'll likely find our own opinions on some of the conventional wisdom around politics, policy and public opinion, it's our goal to provide our readers with unique perspectives that you won't find anywhere else on the web.
 
We also hope this forum becomes a space for discussion about how values shape political opinion.  If you come across an interesting article, have a thought you'd like to share, or think there are some specific political or public policy issues we should consider, take the time to leave a comment or to email us. 
 
Thanks for joining in the conversation.
