Too much time on social media? Check out the @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org Element in Politics & Communication!: "consuming news from newer media sources such as social media & messaging apps is typically associated across countries with less knowledge & more misperceptions about political matters"

📣 New pub alert! My new paper with Drs. Esther Thorson and Rachel Mourão is now available online at JITP. It is well known that conservatives fact-check less frequently than liberals. However, differences in how each group approaches verification remain underexplored.

Many feel that politics globally has become toxic and hostile over recent years. But is this actually the case? And if so, who's to blame? What issues are driving toxicity? We analyze 18M tweets from politicians in 17 countries to find out! w/ @julianachueri.bsky.social arxiv.org/pdf/2503.22411

New story from me: Imani* was in class when she discovered a scholarship program she relied on had been shut down. “I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"
whatimreading.net
A scholarship program helped boost diversity at U of M. Trump’s DEI crackdown just killed it.
The University of Michigan Alumni Association has ended the LEAD Scholars program, a merit-based scholarship that worked to improve enrollment for minority students.

In this study, we propose that a code in a text may exist or not exist depending on one’s social space. Perhaps it’s time to rethink “intersubjectivity” in content analysis. *This will be presented at the next ICA Comps Methods div. @kthorson.bsky.social @snsoroka.bsky.social @dhrice.bsky.social

Hi 🦋! Let me introduce my first solo project! The study explores how spatial polarization in political trust relates to political curation practices on social media. Hope this analysis adds a meaningful layer on this evergoing “polarization debate.” Thank you! journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
