roommate effect, this influence might extend to political ideas and ideologies (not just actions). By establishing this causal influence among randomly assigned acquaintances, Klofstad has laid the groundwork for future studies, which could extend his framework to include controls for curricular influences, the broader peer group (and their participatory norms), and the overall college environment, while continuing his synthesis of individual-level and social-level phenomena in the study of civic action. Overall, this book contributes to two distinct but overlapping literatures. The detailed analysis of political conversations addresses a causal question that has stumped a field burgeoning with rich, thoughtful studies. And the emphasis on the role of peers as a socializing influence within the college environment adds a much needed element to our understanding of civic engagement in higher education. Both traditions are enhanced by Klofstad’s contribution.
