Dr. Joseph E. Uscinski is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on conspiracy theories, political psychology, science communication, and the societal impacts of misinformation. He actively investigates how conspiratorial rhetoric influences beliefs and behaviors, particularly in relation to political violence and non-normative actions.
His recent work explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, disinformation, and public trust in science. Publications include analyses of science-related conspiracy theories (e.g., vaccine refusal) and studies on how fringe beliefs correlate with political violence. He employs survey experiments to assess rhetorical influence on conspiratorial thinking and examines cross-cultural variations in conspiracism.
Key trends in his research highlight the role of antiestablishment ideologies, dark psychological traits, and digital culture in spreading conspiratorial beliefs. Articles address ritual abuse allegations, AI-powered interventions to reduce conspiracy theory adherence, and the political dynamics of misinformation.
