Gregory Eady

Gregory Eady is an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen (Denmark), affiliated with the Faculty of Social Sciences. His research bridges political behavior, public opinion dynamics, social media's role in politics, and advanced statistical methodology. He examines how digital platforms influence political attitudes and representation, with a focus on electoral processes, foreign interference, and crisis impacts on governance.

Key research foci include analyzing the ideological landscape via social media interactions, assessing post-pandemic political representation gaps, and exploring gender dynamics in political toxicity. His methodological contributions address challenges like measuring voter uncertainty and detecting misreporting in sensitive surveys. Eady's work spans cross-national studies and employs experimental designs to uncover causal mechanisms in political behavior.

Notable projects include examining Russian disinformation campaigns in the 2016 U.S. election and the psychological effects of violent protests on party loyalty. His interdisciplinary approach integrates computational social science with traditional political theory, contributing to debates on democratic resilience in the digital age.
