Welcome to my website. I am the Douglas A. Donahue, Jr. 1973 Distinguished Professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College.

I study public opinion and political communication.  My research explores how information (from elected leaders, journalists, and other citizens) influences a person’s attitudes as well as their knowledge about the political world. In addition to political knowledge, I study misinformation and techniques for correcting this problem. Several of my current projects examine best practices for the measurement of public opinion through survey and experimental methods. 

I have been an instructor at the Summer Methods School at the National University of Singapore, where I taught Experimental Methods for several years. I am Co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Experimental Political Science.

My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council.  You can find a list of my publications on my CV.
