Francy Luna Diaz’s research examines how information environments shape political attitudes and behavior, with a particular focus on Latino communities in the United States. Drawing on political communication, political psychology, and public opinion research, Diaz uses surveys, experiments, interviews, and computational analyses of social media data to study how transnational ties, social media, and misinformation influence political beliefs and participation. Her book-style dissertation develops a theory explaining how cross-border social ties and digital media shape how Latinos encounter and respond to political information. Her research has been supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the APSA Dissertation Improvement Grant, the APSA Fund for Latino Scholarship, and other competitive fellowships, grants, and awards.
