Jeremy M. Ladd, PhD

I research opposition political parties and movements in electoral authoritarian regimes and emerging democracies.  I am particularly interested in explaining why some parties and movements in these contexts are so successful while others are not.  I am also interested in how both authoritarians and their opponents are adapting to the digital world.  My comparative research is currently focused on Southeast Asia and Russia and the Post-Soviet region.  My research on Southeast Asia was recently awarded a Southeast Asia Research Group Fellow award for 2022.

​

In addition to, and intertwined with my substantive research interests, I have substantial interests in political methodology and data science.

​

Before joining Quinnipiac University, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University from 2022-2024, where I taught PhD quantitative methods and an undergraduate course focused on data science applications in political science research.  I was also an Assistant Teaching Professor of Political Science and Social Data Analytics at Penn State University from 2019-2022.
