Edward Anders is a first-year MPhil candidate reading Comparative Government at the DPIR. His research investigates the effects of AI-generated content on political attitudes and perceptions of trust in democracy. Supervised by Professor Rachel Bernhard, his research employs experimental designs, along with quantitative and computational methods, to inform policies on regulating, highlighting, or restricting AI-generated news — whether accurate or not.

I am a student in the MPhil Political Theory program.  My research interests centre on questions in the history of political thought, especially as they relate to the emergence and consolidation of modern political and economic institutions and norms, as well as the history and historiography of liberalism. In line with this, my thesis is on liberal ideas of landownership in late 19th/early 20th century England.
