Welcome!

My name is Natasha Goel. I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto in the Department of Political Science and a Research Fellow at the Policy, Elections, and Representation Lab (PEARL) and the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO). 

My research lies at the intersection of political communication and political psychology, with interests in mis/disinformation, digital media, technology, polarization, affect, intergroup relations, and trust. My academic work is featured in peer reviewed journals such as Political Behavior. You can find my Google Scholar profile here. 

I specialize in surveys, experimental design, and causal inference problems.

Outside of academia, I enjoy running, live music, movies, exploring new cities, and discovering good food and wine.
