Dr. Gregory's research primarily centers on civil society organizations, reciprocity mechanisms, and market research methodologies. Her work demonstrates a consistent focus on understanding social interactions within civil organizations, particularly examining how reciprocity functions in various contexts including during crises like pandemics. She has increasingly focused on the relationship between digital technologies and traditional social structures.

Analysis of her publication history reveals a clear trajectory from traditional market research topics toward more specialized sociological investigations of civil society. Her most recent work (2020-2024) consistently examines reciprocity within civil organizations, pandemic impacts on social structures, and the influence of digital technologies on traditional social networks. This represents a significant specialization within sociological research on civil society dynamics.
