Jeremy M. Ladd

Jeremy is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Data Science in the Departments of Political Science and Philosophy, and Mathematics and Statistics at Quinnipiac University. He researches opposition political parties and movements in electoral authoritarian regimes and emerging democracies. He is particularly interested in explaining why some parties and movements in these contexts are so successful while others are not. He is also interested in how both authoritarians and their opponents are adapting to the digital world. His comparative research is currently focused on Southeast Asia and Russia and the Post-Soviet region. His research on Southeast Asia was recently awarded a Southeast Asia Research Group Fellow award for 2022.
In addition to, and intertwined with his substantive research interests, he has substantial interests in political methodology and data science.
Before joining Quinnipiac University, Jeremy was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University from 2022-2024, where he taught PhD quantitative methods and an undergraduate course focused on data science applications in political science research. He was also an Assistant Teaching Professor of Political Science and Social Data Analytics at Penn State University from 2019-2022.
