Welcome to the Official Internet Home of Andrew W. Podob, PhD. I am a social scientist with 8+ years experience in research. My career interests are in mixed-methods user experience research (UXR).

My doctoral dissertation studied how emotion regulates political attitudes and the downstream effects on civic and political participation. Namely, the role marginalization on racial and socio-economic lines plays in the relationship between anxiety and politics.

TEACHING
At The Ohio State University I taught a 300-level course on the politics behind public policy in the United States. The course was a bedrock course for political science and public policy students alike, and it was one of the most widely taken courses in political science at Ohio State.
My teaching has been recognized with the political science department’s Francis R. Aumann Award for Distinguished Teaching 2018-2019.
