Professor Guber’s teaching and research interests include U.S. national elections and electoral behavior, public opinion, and environmental politics. Her work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as Social Science Quarterly, Society and Natural Resources, State and Local Government Review, and the Journal of Statistics Education. She is also the author of a full-length book on the public's concern for the environment and their willingness to translate their beliefs into action, titled The Grassroots of a Green Revolution: Polling America on the Environment (2003), published by The MIT Press in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Her recent work includes an article on the origins of the Adirondack Park in the Journal of Policy History (2010), as well as two pieces co-authored with Christopher J. Bosso. The first, titled "'High Hopes and Bitter Disappointment:' Public Discourse and the Limits of the Environmental Movement in Climate Change Politics"appears in Norman J. Vig and Michael E. Kraft's popular text, Environmental Policy: New Directions for the Twenty-First Century, 8th edition (CQ Press, 2012). The second, on "Issue Framing, Agenda Setting, and Environmental Discourse," is forthcoming in The Oxford Handbook on U.S. Environmental Policy (Oxford University Press, 2012).

Her latest manuscript, titled "A Cooling Climate for Change? Party Polarization and the Politics of Global Warming," has been accepted at American Behavioral Scientist and will appear in print in late 2012.
