Joseph DiGrazia

Joseph DiGrazia is an Assistant Professor at York University's Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. His research focuses on quantitative analyses of political behavior, social movements, and policy impacts. His work uses innovative data sources like internet search trends and social media to examine contemporary political phenomena.

Research interests include Social Research Methods, with emphasis on labor policy dynamics, conservative mobilization (e.g., Tea Party), and the intersection of race, gender, and class in political movements. His studies often employ computational social science approaches to analyze large-scale behavioral patterns.

Recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on political mobilization and policy analysis, primarily in U.S. contexts.
