Aaron F. McKenny studies entrepreneurship and management, with a particular focus on crowdfunding—how people raise money from many small online backers—and the language and rhetoric entrepreneurs use to attract support. His work examines topics like social responsibility messaging, bias (based on age or gender) in funding decisions, and how crises affect fundraising. He also contributes to research methods, especially computer-aided text analysis that measures meaning in written communication.
