Debra Horner's primary research considers the concept of political interest and the different ways we can think about individuals’ engagement in political processes. Her dissertation details a theory of the relationship between political interest and political behavior that distinguishes among three distinct dimensions underlying the general concept: interest as a taste for politics, interest as oversight of the government and elected officials, and interest as a sense of personal stake. She also has co-authored research into semiotic methodologies for analyzing narrative. Debra Horner’s teaching interests include political participation, public opinion, and campaigns and elections. She has taught a number of courses with both the Political Science department and through the Sweetland Writing Center. She holds a B.A. in Political Science and History from Duke University and a doctoral degree in Political Science from the University of Michigan.
