Kaitlin Peach

I am a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of Oklahoma. My dissertation research focuses on the US public’s nuclear war risk perceptions, public perceptions of nuclear weapons and US identity, and how risk perceptions and identity shape an individual’s nuclear weapons and deterrence policy preferences. I am a Graduate Research Assistant at the Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (IPPRA), where I work on projects related to public opinion on national security as well as on IPPRA-Sandia National Laboratories related to nuclear weapons program management. I hold a BA and MA in International and Area Studies with a concentration in Security Studies from the University of Oklahoma. I speak French and Arabic.
