About Daniel Yudkin
I am the founding Director of the Beacon Project at More in Common: a multi-year initiative to identify a new civic vision for America’s Exhausted Majority.My work seeks to use insights from social psychology to understand and bridge political divides. Reports I helped lead (Hidden Tribes: A Study of America’s Polarized Landscape and The Perception Gap: How False Impressions are Pulling Americans Apart) have been highlighted in multiple presidential campaigns and featured in over news articles, including on the front page of the New York Times. My academic research has been published in leading scientific journals such as Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature Human Behavior. I have presented my research in public talks and keynote addresses to audiences around the United States and the world, including in Brazil, Greece, the UK, and Italy. I live in New Orleans with my wife and 3-year old daughter.
