David Konisky’s research focuses on U.S. environmental and energy policy, with particular emphasis on regulation, federalism and state politics, public opinion, and environmental justice.

My research focuses on U.S. environmental politics and policy, regulation, federalism, environmental justice, and public opinion. My current projects focus on identifying and addressing race- and class-based disparities in policy implementation and environmental enforcement, and equity and justice issues emerging in the U.S. energy transition, and public opinion toward energy policy and infrastructure.

My research is primarily concentrated in four areas: environmental justice, the equity and justice dimensions of the U.S. energy transition, public attitudes about energy and the environment, and state environmental regulation.
