Career
Price was the chair at the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Michigan prior to his tenure at the University of Pennsylvania.[3] While at UPenn he held the positions of Interim Provost, Associate Provost for Faculty Affairs, Chair of the Faculty Senate, and Associate Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.[1]
Price served as the editor-in-chief of the Public Opinion Quarterly from 1997 to 2001.[3]
Price was announced as the 10th President of Duke University on December 2, 2016, and he assumed office on July 1, 2017. Since 2017, Price has served as a trustee of the National Humanities Center at Research Triangle Park. Since 2017 he has lived in the J. Deryl Hart House, the official residence for Duke's presidents.[4]
Price wrote a book entitled Public Opinion in 1992.[3] It was reviewed in the Public Opinion Quarterly by John P. Robinson, of the University of Maryland, College Park, who called it an "indispensable and insightful guide to the historical and intellectual roots of our profession".[5] The book is 92 pages long and examines and contrasts the ideas of Plato, John Locke and Walter Lippman with current laboratory findings of group dynamics and cognitive psychology.[5] The book examines a lack of consensus on the definition of "public opinion".[5] Robinson wrote that, "The work establishes Price as a major contributor to a field that has yet to address adequately many of the fundamental issues that he has articulated."[5]
