Professor Taylor's primary focus involves developing communicative explanations of security-related topics and issues. This focus has evolved from his research over 25 years on media and communication associated with U.S. nuclear weapons development in the Cold War and post-Cold War eras. Currently, Professor Taylor is working on projects involving the role of simulation, imitation, and mutual adaptation in the post-9/11 culture of U.S. homeland security.
