Our Work
Connecting Scientists
C-SPAM convenes scholars across scientific fields at Ohio State for regular networking, colloquia, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our affiliates' interests and expertise span a wide range of topics, including:
Advancing Research
We offer funding and publicity opportunities that support scientific research on polarization and misinformation.
Matthew Grizzard: Moral Judgments in Stories and Real Life
C-SPAM affiliate Matthew Grizzard studies how the moral judgments people make about fictional characters shape their perception of stories—as well as how these judgments translate into the real world. We recently connected with Grizzard to discuss his work and its connection to the science of polarization and misinformation.
Affiliate Publications
Read the published research of our Ohio State affiliates. Topics include conspiracy theories, public health, climate change, political extremism, and more.
Science to Impact
We work to build relationships between researchers of polarization and misinformation and practitioner groups that are tackling these same issues—and to establish Ohio State as a leader in this collaborative space.
