Elliot Cohen

Elliot is a Senior Researcher at Frameworks Institute. After studying Social Psychology Research Methods at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he worked as a member of multiple mixed-method research teams, focusing on a number of issues including framing environmental protection policy. He then worked as a Field Researcher and Co-author on the Community Climates Project, investigating the ways community narratives help build resilience in the face of stigma and discrimination. Working as part of the UC Berkeley Metaphor Group, Elliot helped investigate the role of metaphor in shaping public health decision-making during the Covid-19 pandemic. He also worked on several progressive political campaigns at the local, state, and federal level. In his most recent role before joining the Frameworks team, Elliot worked with the political campaign media cooperative Jarrow-Insights, as Director of Communications. At FrameWorks, Elliot has worked on wide range of issues, with a particular focus on economic justice. Elliot is motivated by the belief that we are all in this together, and if we understand that, we can create a better world.
