Allison P Anoll

Dr. Allison Anoll's research and teaching focus on how everyday people navigate the political world: why people (sometimes) participate in politics, how Americans form their political attitudes, and when social movements or the criminal justice system shape political behavior. Her work has received multiple national and international awards including the Juliette and Alexander L. George Award for best book on political psychology and best paper awards from the American Political Science Association and International Society of Political Psychology.

Dr. Anoll’s current scholarship focuses on how parents introduce children to racial politics – and if historical and present-day social movements shape these choices.

She is the recipient of multiple teaching awards.
