So proud of this amazing collab w @crobertson500.bsky.social and so many others (see below) -- a labor of love in which we combined two dissertations and made them more than the sum of their parts! Can't wait to hear what you think!

Is social media truly making us more politically polarized, or does it simply over-represent our most extreme opinions? In our new preprint, @small-schulz.bsky.social and I present *punishing evidence* that social media systematically overrepresents users’ most extreme political opinions. 1/n

Very proud of this new paper on (the difficulty of...) encouraging more equal participation in online political discourse – an evergreen problem that's only becoming more important as users self-select into new platforms ;)

It's out!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big thank you to my coauthors @small-schulz.bsky.social and @lorenzspreen.bsky.social, and to all participants who discussed 20 political issues over 4 weeks in 6 subreddit, 3 experimental conditions and let us observe.

My article, Labor vs. Big Business, is out! it's about efforts of companies like Uber to reform gig worker laws and voter cue-taking from unions and business. TLDR; progressive voters trust union cues to substitute for policy information link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11109-025-10010-0

Such a pleasure to join with @lfoswaldo.bsky.social and @lorenzspreen.bsky.social on this project! Preprint out now!

1/ Excited to share our new preprint “A Collective Field Experiment Disentangling Participation in Online Political Discussions” – osf.io/preprints/so...

Currently in FirstView: In “What Would You Say? Estimating Causal Effects of Social Context on Political Expression,” @small-schulz.bsky.social develops a method for estimating social influence over political expression. He uses an experiment to estimate respondents’ lexical ideology.

1/ My first sole-authored paper just out in @polanalysis.bsky.social 🎉 I develop & validate a survey method for estimating political self-censorship and preference falsification in the mass public… 🧵 bit.ly/4j2BPNY

Excited to share my new #JEPS paper with @xiaoxiaoshen.bsky.social introducing ReChat, a research tool for live-text interaction studies! Makes it easy to embed live chats in surveys, opening new possibilities for research on social interaction. Check it out! 🧵👇 #AcademicSky #PoliSciSky #PoliSky
