Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Mann is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Purdue University with nine years of research and teaching experience studying political polarization, misinformation, and public understandings of science using mixed methods that blend computational big-data analysis with in-depth qualitative interviews. Trained at Duke (PhD, MA) and with a humanities background in English and creative writing, he uniquely combines rigorous quantitative skills with narrative sensitivity to how people interpret scientific and political information. His work interrogates not just who consumes partisan content on social media but how platforms and everyday meaning-making shape belief formation. Based in West Lafayette, he bridges disciplinary methods to produce policy-relevant insights and communication strategies for combating misinformation.
