William Minozzi

Assistant Professor of Political Science

• American Politics
• Formal Theory

Professor Minozzi studies the intersection of preferences, beliefs, and communication, with a focus on the consequences for politics and policy. Some of his current research projects focus on the strategic deployment of expert information by elites; learning and the roles of party reputations and issue salience in campaign strategy; and the dynamics of responsiveness to party pressure in Congress.
