Dr. Ian G. Anson

Dr. Ian G. Anson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at UMBC and Interim Director of The Sondheim Public Affairs Scholars Program. Dr. Anson arrived at UMBC in 2015, immediately after matriculating from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana with a Ph.D. in political science and a M.S. in applied statistics. Dr. Anson’s primary scholarly interests lie at the intersection of the fields of public opinion, political communication, and political behavior. His work often focuses on partisan biases, motivated reasoning, and factual misperceptions in American public opinion. Dr. Anson also contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). His recent book, entitled Following the Ticker: The Political Origins and Consequences of Americans’ Stock Market Perceptions (2023, SUNY Press), examines how public opinion and political behavior have been reshaped since the 1980s by media attention to the stock market.
