- Bio:
Katherine McCabe is an assistant professor of political science at Rutgers University. Dr. McCabe's research is at the intersection of political psychology, public opinion, and political communication in American politics. She examines how individual's social identities, attitudes, and personal experiences shape and complicate how they engage in politics and make political decisions. Her current work focuses on the formation of attitudes on health care issues, the role of the information environment in political belief formation, and how people resolve tension between conflicting political identities and attitudes.
Dr. McCabe joined the Rutgers faculty in 2017. She teaches courses in American politics, political behavior, political psychology, and quantitative methods. She has also co-organized Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science at Rutgers, which provide training for doctoral students and early career researchers.
She received a bachelor's degree in government from Harvard University and a master's degree and doctorate in politics from Princeton University.
