Asheley Landrum

Asheley R. Landrum studied philosophy, biology, and English literature at The University of Texas at Austin and obtained her Ph.D. in psychological sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas under Dr. Candice Mills. Following completion of her Ph.D., Dr. Landrum worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Dr. Patrick Shafto at the University of Louisville before coming to the Annenberg Public Policy Center, where she is a Howard Deshong Postdoctoral Fellow in the Science of Science Communication division. Much of Dr. Landrum’s work focuses on two interrelated themes underlying social learning: learning about other people as communicators of information (learning to trust) and leveraging that knowledge to learn from others (trusting to learn).
