Graduate Study with Me
I typically advise about five graduate students and work with others in the Political Communication Working Group. My students have varied interests in political communication in the US and in other countries, and they generally share a focus on digital media.
​
I do not anticipate taking on new graduate students for the class entering in Fall 2026.
I occasionally host post-doctoral scholars and pre-doctoral visitors from other universities, but I strongly discourage unsolicited letters proposing an extended visit without any previous exchange or interaction.
