The University of Virginia is a superb place to study political psychology. With active faculty in the politics, psychology, and media studies departments, with a variety of centers devoted to the study of politics, and with our proximity to Washington DC, UVA now has a thriving community of scholars studying the links among political minds, political events, and political institutions.

Our particular areas of strength include implicit political cognition, race and gender, morality and ideology, citizen competence, and democratic theory.

This webpage is designed to serve as a resource for all faculty and students at UVA who are interested in political psychology.
