About Kaylee Jensen '27
Kaylee is a fourth-year student majoring in Political Science with minors in Economics and International Business. Originally from Laguna Hills, California, she has developed a deep passion for social justice and public service. Outside the classroom, she is a Research Assistant for the SA国际传媒 Unhoused Initiative as well as a Facility Supervisor at Campus Recreation.
She pursued a project surrounding the ethics of political communication, specifically regarding fear-based advertising, propaganda, and othering. She explored how ethics can better be applied to the institutions responsible, as well as how a lack of ethical political communication leads to increased polarization, civic disengagement, and inadequate civic education. She hopes to use this research to reform means of political communication, expand voters’ understanding of public policy issues, and increase civic engagement to allow our democracy to flourish.
