Professor Mike Xenos

I teach CA 262, Theory and Practice of Group Discussion, and CA 612, New Media and Politics. My research focuses on how the context and content of political communication influences the quality of democratic deliberation, public opinion, and civic engagement. I am particularly interested in how political information environments affect processes of opinion formation and interaction. Some of my recent projects have explored how factors such as campaign intensity, negative campaigning, new communication technologies, and new sources of political information like late-night comedy and youth political websites, enable or constrain democratic citizenship.
