Polarization and misinformation have been at the heart of my research program for the past decade. I've published extensively on these topics using a variety of methods (surveys/panels, experiments, observational data, etc.) and my work has been funded by organizations including the Social Science Research Council, the National Science Foundation, and Meta.
