Welcome!

My name is Natasha Goel. I am an incoming Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University.  I received my PhD in Political Science from the University of Toronto and was previously 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. I study how people engage with political information, how (false) beliefs form and consolidate, and what it takes to update or correct them. These questions extend to considerations of mis/disinformation, AI and technology, digital media, and trust. 

I specialize in causal inference and survey and experimental design.

My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Political Behavior and Journal of Experimental Political Science and featured in outlets such as Tech Policy Press and the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP). You can find my Google Scholar profile here. 

Outside of research, I enjoy running, movies, exploring new cities, and good food and wine.
