I view media engagement as an important form of public scholarship, and I welcome inquiries from journalists seeking evidence-based perspectives related to media psychology, persuasion, social influence, and communication research more broadly. If you're looking for expert commentary or additional context related to any of the following topics, please get in touch via email.

Persuasion and resistance to persuasion
When and why do we change––or refuse to change––our minds?

Emotions and decision-making
How do emotions shape the way we evaluate information?

Misinformation and conspiracy theories
Why do false beliefs spread, and how can we best address them?

Social norms
How do perceptions of what others think and do influence our own behaviors?

Social and digital media
How do online environments shape the way we view the world?
