Mark Williamson, Toronto Metropolitan University
Mark Williamson is a postdoctoral fellow with the Evidence in Governance and Politics network at Toronto Metropolitan University. His research sits at the intersection of political behavior, public opinion, and race, ethnicity and politics. He studies how information shapes people’s beliefs, attitudes and behaviors, with a specific interest in how they update their views toward out-groups. Focusing primarily on Canada and the United States, his work explores how members of dominant groups think about historical injustices committed against others in the past. His research employs a range of designs and data sources, including experiments, surveys, observational data, and text-as-data methods.
