SHAUGHNESSY

I'm Brit, a fourth-year doctoral candidate in communication at the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications’ Public Relations Department seeking a position in the communication industry. All that remains is for me to complete my dissertation by February 2025!

She will be on the job market in Fall 2024, where she will seek an industry career in communications. Her industry-related experience is detailed here.

Her specialization is in political communication, with her research aiming to answer the following question: How does media consumption affect one’s worldview and support of democratic backsliding in the U.S? More broadly, Brit is interested in why people dislike each other along political lines. Her dissertation research will surround the impact of partisan media on political outcomes and examine the current partisan media ecosystem.
