Project Title: The Double-Edged Sword of Policing: The Impact of Policing Consequences on Attitudes
Bryant Moy
Bryant Moy is an Assistant Professor of Politics at New York University. His current research explores substantive questions that animate urban life and policy-making in small-scale multi-racial democracies: whether local governments can translate public opinion into public policy despite overlapping governing institutions, whether individuals can foster greater responsiveness and transparency among local elites, and why discriminatory institutions emerge and persist at the local level. Methodologically, he is interested in experiments and applying machine learning to descriptive and causal inference. His scholarly work has been published in the Journal of Experimental Political Science and Political Behavior. In 2022, he was honored with the Susan Clarke Young Scholars Award from the Urban and Local Politics Section of the American Political Science Association. Bryant has also received the Best Graduate Student Poster Award from the Society for Political Methodology in 2022 and the MENA and Asian PolMeth Poster Award in 2024. He earned his Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. Before his current position, he was a faculty fellow at the Center for Data Science at New York University.
