Dr. Peterson’s primary areas of teaching are US national elections, voting behavior, conspiracy theories, and political media. In addition, he teaches occasionally courses on tribal politics and political scandals. His current research is focused in two areas: looking at shifts in voter perceptions of the major political parties in the 21st century, and examining the impact of tribal gaming on voter behavior.
