Anand Edward Sokhey
- Professor
ANAND EDWARD SOKHEY (The Ohio State University, 2009) joined the CU faculty in 2009 after receiving his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. Anand specializes in American politics, and his research examines how formal and informal political conversations, interpersonal networks, and environments -- whether defined in terms of organizations or geographic boundaries -- independently and interactively shape opinion formation and decision-making. His research intersects with scholarship on communication, gender, religion and politics, and political psychology. He is the co-author of Politics on Display: Yard Signs and the Politicization of Social Spaces (2019, Oxford University Press), The Knowledge Polity: Teaching and Research in the Social Sciences (2022, Oxford University Press), and The Full Armor of God: The Mobilization of Christian Nationalism in American Politics (2023, Cambridge University Press). Anand's work has appeared in general interest journals and other outlets, and he is a faculty fellow at the Institute for Behavioral Science.
