Dr. Cynthia Peacock teaches and researches political communication and news and social media use. Her recent work investigates the contexts in which people express and avoid expressing their political opinions, and the ways in which opinion diversity and disagreement take place in online and offline discussions. She is interested in deliberation, media use and effects, and civic engagement. She is currently researching how people form, change, and express their political opinions. 

Having earned her Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, Cynthia is excited to return to her home state of Alabama where she completed her bachelor’s degree (B.F.A., University of Montevallo) and her master’s degree (M.A., University of Alabama at Birmingham).

In her free time, Cynthia enjoys cooking and eating incredibly spicy food, listening to live music, and finding new outdoor swimming holes.
