William Kidd

I am a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy at Brown University. I study American Politics through the lens of political psychology, in particular focusing on the role partisanship plays in shaping voters’ attitudes and actions, even to the extent it can be harmful to democracy as a whole.

I completed my Ph.D. in Political Science (2025) at the University of California, Irvine and my M.A. in General Experimental Psychology (2015) at California State University, Northridge.
