Biography
Brendan Nyhan is a Professor in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and a Faculty Associate in the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. His research, which focuses on misperceptions about politics and health care, has been published in journals including the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Pediatrics, and Vaccine. (His publications and working papers are listed below; see his curriculum vitae or Google Scholar profile for more.) In 2018, Brendan was named an Andrew Carnegie Fellow. He previously won the Emerging Scholar Award for the top scholar in the field who is within 10 years of their Ph.D. from the American Political Science Association’s section on Elections, Public Opinion, and Voting Behavior.
Brendan received his Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at Duke University and served as a RWJ Scholar in Health Policy Research at the University of Michigan and a member of the faculty in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College before joining the Ford School faculty.
Brendan is a contributor to The Upshot blog at The New York Times and a co-founder of Bright Line Watch, a watchdog group that monitors the status of American democracy. He previously served as a media critic for Columbia Journalism Review.
From 2001-2004, Ben Fritz, Bryan Keefer, and Brendan edited Spinsanity, a non-partisan watchdog of political spin that was syndicated in Salon (2002) and the Philadelphia Inquirer (2004). In 2004, we published All the President’s Spin, a New York Times bestseller that Amazon.com named one of the ten best political books of the year.
Previously, he was a marketing and fundraising consultant for Benetech, a Silicon Valley technology nonprofit, and Deputy Communications Director of the Bernstein for US Senate campaign in Nevada. He grew up in Mountain View, CA and attended Swarthmore College.
