Jeff Conlin serves as an Assistant Professor at the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, University of Kansas, joining the full-time faculty in 2021 to support the strategic communication concentration.
His academic credentials include:
- B.A. in American Studies, Wittenberg University

Conlin's research critically examines persuasive mechanisms across science, political, and environmental risk contexts, with emphasis on emotional responses to messaging. His work bridges strategic communication theory and practical applications in public health campaigns and political advertising, evidenced by studies on vaccination hesitancy reduction, narrative ad efficacy in the 2018 midterm elections, and emotional triggers in feral pig eradication campaigns.
Prior industry experience spanning 16 years in PR, corporate communications, and digital marketing across transportation, e-commerce, and environmental sectors directly informs his pedagogical approach and research methodology.
