Tamar Mitts has been awarded a grant from the Department of Defense’s Minerva Research Initiative to study adversary social influence and information campaigns. 

This is an exciting, multi-university, multi-year project that will combine subject matter and investigative expertise with deep experience in quantitative impact evaluation. At Columbia, the award will support research on how influence campaigns are evolving, which platform and AI company policies make life harder for them, and whether they significantly impact our politics.
