Our new paper, my 50th 😬, is out now. Led heroically by @wangrui.bsky.social it combines two novel methods for thematic analysis and engagement capacity to identify content that encourages deliberation. We validate the method on political discourse. paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/ref/10.1...

In what could be described as both a perfect and horrifying timing, I will give a talk today at Penn Medicine on the politicization of science, the role of media, and the implications for vaccines and other health behaviors. Zoom link below if you're interested

Academic book covers used to look really ugly back in the day, but man do I love spending some time with Innis!

Our new paper is out now in Journal of Communication-- A true passion project, Dror Walter and I have been thinking about this one since in grad school. This large-scale metatheoretical analysis will hopefully help restore trust in (emphasis) framing theory. academic.oup.com/joc/advance-...
