Dylan Thurgood is a DPhil candidate in Social Data Science at the Oxford Internet Institute. His work lies at the intersection of political science, data science, psychology and communication studies. He researches how the exposure to different types of online content – with a focus on hyperpartisan news, AI-generated articles and conversations with LLM chatbots – is linked to shifts in people’s beliefs about the EU, immigration, climate change, and political polarisation. Dylan has a German-British-Dutch background and holds an MSc in Social Data Science from the Oxford Internet Institute as well as a BSc in Economics from the University of Warwick, during which he spent one year studying at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona.
