Political Scientist at the University of Southampton
I am a Professor of Political Science at the University of Southampton, specializing in public opinion, political behavior, and misinformation. My work explores how individuals process political information, the effectiveness of interventions to correct misinformation, and the dynamics of public opinion on foreign policy.
Potentially useful links: my CV, my Google scholar profile, and my BlueSky account (where I post a mix of poli sci, current events, academia, and Spurs — not necessarily in that order).
I moved to the UK from the US in 2013, and was at the at the University of Exeter 2013-2024. I previously worked at Georgia State University (2007-2013) and Loyola University Chicago (2005-2007).
I received my PhD from Duke University. Prior to grad school, I spent four years in Washington, DC working for the polling firm Bennett, Petts, and Blumenthal.
I am married and have two daughters. When I am not doing political science, I spend time playing with my family, cooking, making terrible noises on a guitar, or watching my favorite sports teams. For better or worse, I am a Tottenham Hotspur fan.
