Professional Background
Labarre’s research straddles political communication, political behavior, and psychology. More specifically, he studies how the media and political psychology contribute to pathologies of democracy, such as epistemic vulnerability, polarization, and populist or extreme attitudes.
Originally from France, he came to the U.S. as a Fulbright scholar in 2016. He is an affiliate of the International Panel on the Information Environment, a distinguished initiative that was officially launched at the 2023 Nobel Prize Summit with the support of the Nobel Foundation.
His academic work has been published in top-tier political science, communication, and computer science journals, including Political Communication, the International Journal of Press/Politics, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics, and the Proceedings of the ‘24 IEEE World Conference on Computational Intelligence.
