New paper w/ @yamilrvelez.bsky.social! A lot of great research on political microtargeting discounts personalization: tailored ads (using AI or not) rarely beat a single-best message. We define two types of microtargeting, clarify when tailoring matters, & showcase a novel audio-based design.
I am extremely honored, and equally perplexed, that my book has received the Stein Rokkan Prize.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped out with this project along the way. So much of the book is the result of feedback by kind people who took the time to listen and read. Thank you.

Best,
The ANES Team
After years of doubt, drafts, and disbelief, my first—and likely last—book is finally out. It’s about how entertainment shapes American politics. If you preorder (a.co/d/ctGUWkZ), I’d love to send a small token of thanks: forms.gle/1YrkYX2t2nPC...
At a time when American global engagement is shrinking, I think it's worth considering the direct good that our foreign assistance has contributed. I wrote about this for @goodauth.bsky.social

In @apsrjournal.bsky.social, a series of survey experiments by Eric Groenendyk, Yanna Krupnikov, John Barry Ryan, and Elizabeth C. Connors suggests that those averse to conflict are less likely to respond to surveys labeled as “political.”
This was a LONG time coming. A fun project with a great team. Great to see it out.
From our new issue: "Selecting Out of “Politics”: The Self-Fulfilling Role of Conflict Expectation" by Eric Groenendyk, Yanna Krupnikov, John Barry Ryan, Elizabeth C. Connors. #ASPRNewIssue www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-p...
