Robb Willer has been named a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. He is one of five Stanford scholars awarded the fellowship.
Had a blast at the @sociologicalsci.bsky.social
conference at @stanfordsoc.bsky.social last week, which allowed me to both gaze at Rodins & argue that sociologists should try to run our departments as if we believe scholarship on how to have equitable organizations.
Can AI voter guides help voters decide while remaining accurate, nonpartisan, and trustworthy?
Very grateful to @stanfordimpactlabs.bsky.social for a new grant supporting our next work on this (building on work led by Joe Mernyk & Jonne Kamphorst):

Climate change impacts are here, but public support for action remains polarized. Which climate messages move people?
In a ~13,500-person megastudy, we tested 10 of the most-cited messages. Six increased pro-environmental attitudes in the U.S.—but only by 1–4 percentage points. 🧵

🚨New WP: Can an AI voter guide (grounded in information from a nonpartisan, fact-checked source) help voters’ decision making? 🚨
We built and evaluated an LLM-based chatbot that provided voting info in CA & TX (N=2,474) right before the 2024 election. 🧵👇
