Sarah Wagner is interested in political parties and their strategies - in particular in regard to their policy positions. She researches this in the context of radical left parties and shows that their position on cultural (non-economic) positions can substantially influence their success at the ballot box. Specifically, she examines left-authoritarian parties and has published on the newly launched German party Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht.

She examines these interests using quantitative methods such as surveys, survey experiments and text as data.
