Andrew Wroe joined the school in 2003. He is a lecturer in American politics. His current research interests focus on the trust in government, particularly the reasons for its decline and its effects on the wider polity. Recent work has focused on how low levels of political trust frame citizens' perceptions of elected officials and may actually help engender political scandals.He has written, edited and contributed to many books on US politics. These publications cover areas including the politics of immigration reform, the Republican party and the alleged 'culture war' in the United States. He is the long-standing vice-chair of the Political Studies Association American Politics Group.
