Professor Wood's research examines promotional culture, corporate political advocacy, and theories of transparency and communicative power, with particular focus on fossil fuels and environmental politics. His work investigates how corporations mobilize citizens in political battles and shape public discourse around energy projects.

Wood's publications demonstrate consistent focus on corporate influence in media and politics, evolving from analysis of news framing in energy controversies to examinations of propaganda techniques and transparency mechanisms. His comparative international approach reveals patterns in how corporate voices dominate public discourse.
