Anand Edward Sokhey (Ph.D., The Ohio State University) is a Professor of Political Science and the Director of the American Politics Research Lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. A specialist in American politics, Anand's research examines how formal and informal political conversations, interpersonal networks, and environments -- whether defined in terms of organizations or geographic boundaries -- independently and interactively shape opinion formation and decision-making. His research intersects with scholarship on religion and politics, communication, gender and political psychology. He is the co-author of Politics on Display: Yard Signs and the Politicization of Social Spaces (2019, Oxford University Press), The Knowledge Polity: Teaching and Research in the Social Sciences (2022, Oxford University Press), and The Full Armor of God: The Mobilization of Christian Nationalism in American Politics (2023, Cambridge University Press). Anand's work has appeared in general interest journals and other outlets, and he is a faculty fellow at Colorado's Institute for Behavioral Science.
