Biography
Jennifer Lambe is an associate professor in the Communication Department at the University of Delaware, and a faculty associate with UD's Center for Political Communication. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota.
Her research interests lie at the intersection between media ethics, freedom of expression, and media effects. She is particularly interested in exploring non-governmental sources of media accountability, and understanding public opinion about these issues.
Her research and teaching focus broadly on media and democracy. Her specialties include freedom of expression, both domestically and internationally; media policy/law/ethics; and the effects of media. Recent projects include work examining the tension between freedom of speech and hate speech, public opinion about net neutrality and campaign finance issues, and improved measurement of public willingness to censor.
