Summary
Joshua Kalla is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Data Science at Yale University with nine years of academic and applied research experience studying voter behavior, public opinion, and political advocacy using randomized field experiments. He brings a rare blend of rigorous Ph.D.-level training from UC Berkeley and hands-on campaign and nonprofit experiment design from roles at Analyst Institute and CREDO Action. His work bridges theory and practice—designing, running, and analyzing large-scale voter contact and advocacy experiments that inform both scholarly debates and real-world organizing. Based in New Haven, he is equally fluent in statistical methods and the practical constraints of fieldwork, often translating experimental insights into actionable strategies for progressive organizations.
