Her research examines state and organizational-level policy change and diffusion, and the role social movements have on these processes. She has recently published papers on how protest impacts multi-national firm-level decisions regarding divestment in Burma, and on how advocacy organizations learn new strategies and tactics from those with which they collaborate. She is currently working on a study of how protest affects the outcomes of shareholder resolutions, and another study of how advocacy organizations innovate.

Alexander Spangher
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioAlexander Spangher is a post-doctoral researcher advised by Daniel Ho, Sanmi Koyejo and Diyi Yang. His research focuses on modeling human decision-making in creative domains, especially in contexts where data is limited and rewards and goals are less clear. He is building out a new domain of learning, called emulation learning, with the goal of training the next generation of reasoning-oriented language models to be more proficient in these domains. His research has been used at technology organizations like OpenAI, Google and EleutherAI. He is especially passionate about helping journalists and has framed tasks and trained reasoning LLMs to help journalists find stories and sources, structure narratives and track information updates. These tools have been incorporated into newsrooms at the New York Times, Bloomberg and Stanford Big Local News, impacting thousands of journalists; and his work is also informing the next generation of journalistic education at USC Annenberg. His work has received numerous awards including two outstanding paper awards at EMNLP 2024, one spotlight award at ICML 2024, one outstanding paper award at NAACL 2022 and a best paper award at CJ2023; and he has been supported by a 4-year Bloomberg PhD Fellowship. His work is broad: in addition to his work in NLP and computational journalism, he has studied misinformation at Microsoft Research and collaborated with the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center to model plasma fusion processes.
