Michael Xenos

Michael Xenos is a Professor in the Department of Life Sciences Communication. His research focuses on the political dimensions of science communication, with a focus on how individuals perceive, make sense of, and form opinions about science related issues in an increasingly polarized public sphere. Within this context, key factors explored in his work include the role played by digital media use in how people engage with science, as well as how individuals’ predispositions and lived experiences interact with the broader political context to affect public engagement with science and attitudes related to science issues. Xenos teaches classes related to science communication theory and research methods to undergraduate and graduate students, including those in the Science Communication Ph.D. program.
