Justin Casey is a visiting assistant professor of political science at Swarthmore College. Their research explores the ways in which ideology, subversion, and orders shape great power politics. They focus especially on disinformation, the interwar and Cold War eras, and transnational far-right movements.

They are currently converting their dissertation, The Propaganda Dilemma, into a book. This project draws on Presidential Libraries and The National Archives of the United Kingdom to explain why democracies utilize propaganda in peacetime. Their work has appeared in International Studies Quarterly, Foreign Affairs, and E-International Relations.

Justin earned their PhD from Georgetown University. They also hold an MA from Georgetown, and a BS in Political Science from Towson University. Before coming to Swarthmore, Justin was previously a predoctoral research fellow/visiting scholar at the George Washington University’s Institute for Security and Conflict Studies, a Hans J. Morgenthau Fellow at the Notre Dame International Security Center, a Jill Hopper Memorial Fellow at Georgetown, and a PhD Ambassador for Georgetown’s Political Science – Predoctoral Summer Institute.
