Hey!
I am Elias Gbadamosi

I am a doctoral student working under the mentorship of Professor Michael Humphrey at Colorado State University. Broadly, my research explores the intricate relationship between narratives, social politics, and technology – I examine how narratives are used to negotiate socio-political issues on digital media platforms. For my dissertation specifically, I am probing how political newcomers of color deploy public narratives to shape and define their policy agenda in the digital public sphere and how their constituents respond to the agenda. My research interests converge at the intersection of narrative studies, political theory, digital media, and public policy analysis.

Since embarking on this endeavor, I find new knowledge daily and discover ways to use existing knowledge in creative ways.

But hey, life is not all work and no play! Outside of work and research, I am an amateur alto saxophonist and wannabe photographer who flirts with data analysis.
