معرفی
Shawn Rosenberg is a Professor in the Department of Political Science & Psychology at the University of California, Irvine, working at the intersection of sociology, psychology, and political science. His research focuses on political psychology, democratic theory, and cognitive development.
- Education: Political sociology at Oxford, social and developmental psychology at Harvard
- Research themes: Democratic competence, populist ideology, deliberative processes, and cognitive limitations in political reasoning
His empirical work explores how citizens understand politics through sequential, linear, and systematic thinking, challenging assumptions about democratic participation and learning. Recent publications examine the structural weaknesses of liberal democracy and the cognitive appeal of populism.
Rosenberg’s book chapters and edited volumes analyze deliberation’s practical limits in multicultural democracies. He critiques both liberal/positivist and continental approaches to political cognition, advocating for a structural pragmatic framework.
