Justin Casey is a Visiting Instructor at Swarthmore College and a PhD Candidate in International Relations at Georgetown University. Their dissertation, The Propaganda Dilemma:
Democracies in the War of Ideas, draws on extensive research at the Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan Presidential Libraries, as well as The National Archives in London, to explore why democracies use propaganda in peacetime despite liberal norms against it. They also research how ideology shapes power politics, challenges to the liberal international order, and the transnational and transhistorical far-right. Their work has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Foreign Affairs, and E-International Relations.
