Alison Dagnes
I am a Professor of Political Science at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. My most recent book, Super Mad at Everything All the Time: Political Media and Our National Anger, was remarkably prescient for being published in 2019.
Since I warned of the consequences of the media-fueled rage… things have gotten exponentially worse.
I am also the author of A Conservative Walks Into a Bar (2012) and Politics on Demand: The Effects of 24-Hour News on American Politics (2010), which were far more fun to write.
I have also edited two books on political scandal; Sex Scandals in American Politics (2011) and Scandal! (2013) which makes me something of an authority on the topic. My father is so proud.
I give interviews, public talks, and impromptu lectures to my daughters on a wide range of topics about American politics.
Prior to receiving my doctorate in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, I was a producer for C-SPAN on Capitol Hill which is not as boring as it sounds.
