Guy Golan, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Communication
College of Human Development Culture and Media
I have been teaching public relations courses at Seton Hall University since 2008.
I enjoy the small size of our classes that allows me to get to know all of my students.
My research focuses on political and international communications as well as media
effects and social media research. I have published more than two dozen peer reviewed
journal articles in journals such as Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly,
American Behavioral Scientist, and Mass Communication and Society. Before entering
the academia, I worked as a political campaign professional and specialized in strategic
communications and integrated campaign research.
