Dr. Patrick C. Meirick serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Oklahoma's Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences, teaching courses including Introduction to Statistics (COMM 2513) and Mass Media Effects (COMM 4643) in Spring 2024. His Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (2002) anchors a career bridging academic research and seven years of award-winning journalism experience as a reporter, editor, and columnist. His research program centers on political communication fragmentation through three interconnected lenses: Political/Health Misinformation: Analyzing how partisanship, affective polarization, and "fake news" drive false beliefs Third-Person Perception: Investigating self/other media influence beliefs and democratic consequences Political Advertising Dynamics: Examining message factors (negativity, sponsorship) and audience attributes (partisanship, knowledge) in ad effectiveness Published in flagship journals like Journal of Communication and Political Communication , his work employs experimental and survey methodologies to dissect media's role in belief formation. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a cohesive trajectory examining public agenda fragmentation and misinformation proliferation. The 2019 book A Nation Fragmented (co-authored with Jill Edy) establishes a framework for understanding declining consensus on national priorities, while subsequent studies dissect mechanisms like ad watch impacts on campaign accuracy and motivated reasoning in sustaining misperceptions—particularly evident in works on "death panels" and Bush legacy perceptions. Dr. Meirick actively shapes scholarly discourse as associate editor of Mass Communication and Society , with prior service on five editorial boards and reviews for 30+ journals. His pre-academic journalism career informs his empirical approach to media effects, though details of current advising, grants, or research teams remain unspecified in available sources.

J. Celeste Lay is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at Tulane University specializing in political behavior, socialization, and public opinion. Her research examines how children develop political attitudes, with particular focus on immigration and education policy impacts on voting behavior and party support. She founded Tulane's Summer Minor Program in U.S. Public Policy and previously served as Senior Associate Dean in Newcomb-Tulane College. Her scholarship centers on gendered political socialization processes, demonstrating how early exposure to gender stereotypes shapes political ambition—especially among girls—and influences perceptions of leadership. Work on post-Katrina New Orleans explores disaster impacts on political trust, while rural America studies analyze immigration's effect on political development. She investigates the critical interplay between policy knowledge and voting behavior across diverse contexts. Recent publications reveal consistent thematic threads: gender barriers in political ambition emerge as early as childhood; post-disaster governance (particularly in New Orleans) reshapes political efficacy; and education policy reforms create complex democratic trade-offs. Her innovative methods include children's drawings, comic-based civic education, and analysis of social studies materials to uncover how gendered narratives constrain political identity formation across generations.
